Hit Confirmation

Understand the "HODL Mentality" in crypto terminology, which emphasizes holding onto investments through volatility instead of selling.

Hit confirmation refers to the process of verifying that a transaction has been accepted and recorded on the blockchain. When a transaction is initiated, it first enters a pool of unconfirmed transactions. Miners then validate these transactions through a series of checks.Once a transaction is included in a block and this block is added to the blockchain, it is considered confirmed. Confirmation usually involves multiple nodes verifying the data to prevent fraud and ensure integrity. The more confirmations a transaction has, the more secure it is against double-spending and other potential issues.In practice, a transaction typically requires a specific number of confirmations before it is considered final. For many cryptocurrencies, a confirmation occurs approximately every 10 minutes. However, some exchanges and wallets may require additional confirmations for higher-value transactions, ensuring greater security for users.
