• type: Category of transaction
• from_address: Sender’s VFX address
• to_address: Recipient’s VFX address
• total_amount: Amount transferred (excluding fees)
• total_fee: Transaction processing fee
• timestamp: When the transaction was created

• status: Current transaction status

Technical Details

• size: Transaction size in bytes
• nonce: Sequence number for sender’s transactions
• data: Additional transaction data (for smart contracts)
• signature: Cryptographic signature proving authenticity
• inputs: Transaction inputs with amounts
• outputs: Transaction outputs and destinations

Address Query Fields

• direction: Whether address was sender or recipient
• counterparty_address: The other party in the transaction
• amount: Amount relevant to the queried address
• fee: Fee paid (only for sent transactions)

Transaction Status

• pending: Transaction submitted but not yet confirmed

• rejected: Transaction rejected by network

Notes

• All monetary amounts are returned as strings to preserve precision
• Confirmations increase as new blocks are added after the transaction
• Smart contract transactions may include additional data fields
• NFT transactions reference specific token identifiers
• Fee calculations depend on transaction complexity and network congestion
• Large result sets are paginated for performance
