Confirmation vs Transaction

A confirmation in cryptocurrency is the verification that a transaction has been successfully included in a blockchain block and validated by the network, with additional confirmations representing subsequent blocks built on top, increasing transaction security and irreversibility with each new block.

A cryptocurrency transaction is a digital transfer of value from one address to another, recorded permanently on the blockchain. Transactions are verified by network participants through consensus mechanisms and become irreversible once confirmed, representing the fundamental operation enabling cryptocurrency functionality.
