How Do Cryptocurrency Transactions Work? A Step-by-Step Visual Guide

Sending crypto isn’t like mailing a letter—it’s more like launching a spaceship with multiple verification stages. In this guide, we’ll dissect a PEPE coin transaction to reveal how cryptocurrencies move securely without banks.

Section 1: Anatomy of a Crypto Transaction

Visual Breakdown:

Copy

[Your Wallet] → [Transaction Details] → [Network] → [Blockchain]  

  │                │                      │               │  

  Private Key      Amount + Fees          Nodes           Immutable Record 

Key Components:

  1. Input: Source wallet (your PEPE balance)
  2. Output: Recipient’s address
  3. Gas Fee: Network processing cost
  4. Nonce: Unique transaction ID

Section 2: The 5-Step Journey of a PEPE Transfer

Step 1 – Initiation
You enter:

  • Recipient’s address: pepe_amigo123
  • Amount: 50 PEPE
  • Gas fee: 2 PEPE (priority speed)

Common Error Alert:
❌ Copying addresses manually → Use QR codes to avoid typos!

Step 2 – Digital Signing
Your wallet:

  1. Creates a transaction hash (digital fingerprint)
  2. Signs it with your private key
  3. Output: A cryptographic proof like:
  4. Copy
  5. Signature: 7a3b…f9c2

Real-World Analogy:
Sealing an envelope with a wax stamp only you can create.

Step 3 – Broadcasting
Your transaction joins the mempool—a waiting room for unconfirmed transactions.

Bitcoin vs Ethereum Mempools:

Aspect Bitcoin Ethereum
Avg Wait Time 10 minutes per block 12 seconds per block
Capacity 1MB per block Dynamic gas limits

Step 4 – Validation
Miners/validators check:

  • Sufficient balance
  • Valid signature
  • Correct format

PEPE TAP Example:
When you earn 100 PEPE in-game, validation ensures no double-spending.

Step 5 – Confirmation
Transaction is added to a block. Confirmations = # of subsequent blocks.

Confirmations Security Level
1 Risky (small amounts)
6+ Secure (large amounts)

Section 3: Transaction Speed & Fees Explained

Bitcoin (Lightning Network):

  • Fee: $0.001
  • Speed: Instant (off-chain)

Ethereum (Post-Merge):

  • Fee
  • 0.50−
  • 0.50−5 (varies with network load)
  • Speed: 5-15 seconds

Pro Tip: PEPE TAP uses low-fee networks so you keep more earnings!

Section 4: Tracking Your Transaction

  1. Block Explorer Search:
  2. Status Interpretation:
    • Pending: Still in mempool
    • Confirmed: Added to blockchain

Debunking Myths

Myth: “Crypto transactions are untraceable.”
Truth: All transactions are public. Tools like Chainalysis track flows for exchanges.
