transaction

Last updated Unknown Edit Source

Every function that is called on the blockchain is considered a transaction which means the gas-fee is applicable (unless the function is a view).

Deploying a smart contract is a transaction as well.

Transactions are mined by the miners:

1. We broadcast our transaction
2. Wait for it to be picked up by actual miners
3. Wait for it to be mined
4. Wait for it to be broadcasted back to the blockchain telling all the other miners to update their copies
