Learning objectives

  • 01Compare the account and UTXO models on the same transfer
  • 02Explain the nonce's role against replay
  • 03Break down how a transaction fee is computed

Guided lab

Build, sign and broadcast a transaction on a test network, then follow its inclusion.

Independent lab

Deliberately trigger a bad-nonce failure and an underpriced failure, and document both errors.

Security angle

Cross-chain replay: why a transaction valid elsewhere must be rejected here.

Assessment

A transaction included on the test network plus an annotated error log.
