Overview

A transaction of digital assets refers to the transfer of ownership of digital assets from one party to another. Assets may be transferred between decentralized applications (dApps), individuals or organizations.

After transactions are made, they are verified and recorded as entries on a blockchain network, which is essentially a digital public ledger with no central authority (such as a bank). These entries can be viewed by anyone and cannot be altered.

Digital asset transactions are secured through cryptography. See our Wallets guide for more information on cryptographic keys and how they are used to authenticate transactions.
