Transaction Lifecycle
From signing to mining.
From Click to Confirmation
When you send a transaction, a lot happens behind the scenes before it becomes permanent.
This lesson walks through the full transaction lifecycle, from signing to inclusion in a block.
Step 1: Building the Transaction
Your wallet assembles a transaction object containing the recipient, value, data, gas settings, and a nonce.
tx = {
to: 0xRecipient...,
value: 1000000000000000000, // 1 ETH
nonce: 7,
gasLimit: 21000,
maxFeePerGas: 30 gwei
