Transactions
Transactions are the signed requests sent to the chain to execute one or more actions.
What a Transaction Includes
- one or more actions
- the authorizing permission
- the chain context needed for validation
- signatures from the appropriate wallet or signer
Actions
An action is a named call to a contract. Transactions can bundle several actions together so they succeed or fail as one unit.
Why This Matters for Builders
Understanding transactions helps you design:
- safe signing flows
- wallet prompts that users can trust
- multi-action app workflows
- backend verification and retry behavior
