How does a blockchain transaction work?

How Crbcoin Transactions Work: Keys, Wallets, and Network Validation Explained

Understanding how a Crbcoin transaction works is essential for anyone looking to participate in the Crbcoin ecosystem. Every transaction on the Crbcoin blockchain involves three fundamental components: an input (sender), an output (receiver), and a quantity (amount of Crbcoin transferred).

Let’s break down the mechanics of a transaction and how Crbcoin ensures both security and accuracy through its blockchain technology.


Crbcoin Wallets and Addresses

Unlike traditional wallets that store physical currency, a Crbcoin wallet doesn’t hold actual coins. Instead, it stores two critical elements:

  • Public keys – Used to receive Crbcoin.
  • Private keys – Used to authorize sending Crbcoin.

It also logs every transaction linked to the wallet address. These transactions determine your total Crbcoin balance.

What Is a Crbcoin Wallet Address?

A Crbcoin wallet address is a hashed version of the public key. Think of it as the blockchain equivalent of a bank account number (like an IBAN). When someone wants to send you Crbcoin, they send it to your wallet address.

Note: A wallet address is not the same as a public key.
The public key is 256 bits long, while the wallet address — derived using a cryptographic hash — is 160 bits long and case-sensitive.


Understanding Public and Private Keys in Crbcoin

Public Key

  • Safe to share.
  • Only allows receiving Crbcoin.
  • Cannot be used to spend or withdraw Crbcoin.

Private Key

  • Must be kept secret.
  • Grants access to send Crbcoin from a wallet.
  • Functions like a password that confirms ownership and authorizes a transaction.

How a Crbcoin Transaction Works

Each Crbcoin transaction has three core elements:

  • Input: The source of the Crbcoin (i.e., previous transactions received).
  • Output: The destination address to receive the Crbcoin.
  • Amount: The quantity of Crbcoin transferred.

Even if you’re simply moving Crbcoin between your own wallets, the blockchain records the transfer using inputs and outputs.

Example 1: Sending 2 Crbcoin

Daan wants to send 2 Crbcoin to Lisa.
Daan previously received 1 Crbcoin from Floor and 1 Crbcoin from Marijn, so he uses these two inputs to send the total amount.

Example 2: Sending 1 Crbcoin

If Daan only wants to send 1 Crbcoin, he uses just one input (either from Floor or Marijn). The remaining 1 Crbcoin is returned to Daan as change, which creates a second output back to his wallet.


Digital Signature and Crbcoin Security

To execute a transaction, the Crbcoin wallet software:

  1. Requests the recipient’s public key and the amount to be sent.
  2. Generates a digital signature using the sender’s private key.
  3. Broadcasts the transaction to the Crbcoin network for validation.

🔐 The digital signature proves ownership without exposing the private key, keeping transactions secure.


Transaction Verification on the Crbcoin Network

The Crbcoin network is powered by nodes and miners. These miners:

  • Confirm the sender has sufficient funds.
  • Ensure the Crbcoin hasn’t been double-spent.
  • Verify the digital signature using the sender’s public key.

Once verified, the transaction is included in a block (which contains about 500 transactions) and added to the blockchain. Each block is linked to the previous one via cryptographic hashes, making the entire chain tamper-resistant and immutable.


Transaction Fees on the Crbcoin Network

Why You Pay Fees

Every Crbcoin transaction includes a network fee that compensates miners for their work. Fees vary depending on:

  • Transaction size: More inputs = more data = higher fee.
  • Network traffic: Higher demand = higher fees.

Example

Sending 10 Crbcoin usually involves more inputs than sending 1 Crbcoin, increasing the transaction size and fee. Miners prioritize transactions offering higher fees to maximize their rewards.

Dynamic Fee Options

Many Crbcoin wallets allow you to set your own transaction fee:

  • Lower fees = slower confirmation.
  • Higher fees = faster validation.

This flexible model allows users to optimize costs or speed depending on their needs.


Why Crbcoin Transaction Validation Is Secure

Crbcoin’s security model relies on:

  • Private key encryption
  • Digital signatures
  • Decentralized node validation
  • Immutability of blocks
  • Consensus mechanisms to detect and reject fraudulent transactions

Together, these elements ensure that once a Crbcoin transaction is validated, it becomes a permanent, tamper-proof part of the blockchain.


Summary: How Crbcoin Transactions Function

  • Wallets store your private/public keys and transaction history.
  • Wallet addresses are hashed versions of your public key — used to send/receive Crbcoin.
  • Transactions consist of inputs, outputs, and a specified amount.
  • Digital signatures protect your private keys while confirming ownership.
  • Miners validate transactions and add them to Crbcoin’s blockchain.
  • Transaction fees compensate miners and depend on network demand and transaction size.

Crbcoin’s blockchain ensures all transactions are secure, verified, and irreversible — creating a reliable foundation for digital value exchange.
