Send a Transaction

The transaction flow has three stages:

  1. Create the transaction in Wallet.
  2. Transfer it to Vault and sign it.
  3. Return the signed transaction to Wallet and submit it to the network.

1️⃣ Create the Transaction in Wallet

  1. On the Wallet home screen, select the wallet you want to use. In the wallet details, tap Send.

    Q. Why are all speed options the same price on the training network?

    Fee rates depend on network demand. Coconut's training network is usually uncongested, so fast, normal, and slow options may all use the same minimum fee rate.

    Q. What does sat/vB mean?

    • vB (virtual byte): A unit representing how much block space a transaction occupies.
    • sat/vB: The number of satoshis paid per virtual byte. A 100-vB transaction at 10 sat/vB pays a 1,000-sat fee.
  3. Review the transaction and tap Next.
