title: What types of LBRY transactions are there?
category: wallet
---

There are a number of transaction types which take place on the LBRY blockchain. The LBRY app displays these transactions in the **Overview** and **History** tabs on the Wallet page.

Many transaction types also have details associated with them such as the claim/channel name or if they came from an LBRY Reward. You can also see additional details by clicking the transaction ID and accessing them in the [LBRY block explorer](https://explorer.lbry.com).

| Type | Details |
--- | ---
| **Spends** | LBC is sent to another address or used to purchase content.<br/>Also, revoked content/claimed tips show as Spends.
| **Receives** | LBC received at wallet address, an incoming content payment or LBRY Reward.
| **Publishes** | LBC claim associated with content publication.<br/>Claims can be revoked via trash button<sup>1</sup>.
| **Channels** | LBC claim associated with Channel creation.<br/>Channel claims can be revoked via trash button.
| **Tips** | Tips sent or received. Received tips can be claimed via the unlock button in order to be reflected in your balance.
| **Supports** | Claim support sent or received. Support claims can be revoked via trash button.
| **Updates** | Update to previously published content<sup>2</sup>. Updated claims can be revoked via trash button.
| **Abandons** | Transaction that results after revoking a claim or tip. The amount shown is the LBC returned to your wallet.

<sup>1</sup> If the revoke icon is not available, the claim may have already been revoked, or there may be an update to the claim (which can be revoked).

<sup>2</sup> Amount shown does not reflect balance taken out of wallet - the update process uses the original bid amount, and the resulting transaction may result in a positive or negative balance to your wallet based on the updated bid amount.

### Additional Actions

Certain transactions allow you to take additional actions directly from the transaction screen, such as claiming an incoming tip via the unlock button and revoking a claim via the trash button. Once the action is taken, the action icon will disappear, and the resulting transaction will appear in your history.

### What About Purchases?

Content purchases and incoming content payments are not currently available but are planned for a future release. Currently these show as spends.
