((("transactions","structure of")))A transaction is a((("data structure"))) _data structure_ that encodes a transfer of value from a source of funds, called an((("inputs, defined"))) _input_, to a destination, called an((("outputs, defined"))) _output_. Transaction inputs and outputs are not related to accounts or identities.
