Cryptocurrency transactions are recorded on a decentralized ledger. This ledger is called a blockchain. Every time crypto is bought or sold, the transaction is added to the blockchain — a public database of the transactions, which is available to other crypto holders.

For each transaction added to the blockchain, there’s a digital validation process to verify it and prevent fraud.
