What types of LBRY transactions are there? 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 of the Wallet page.

Many transaction types also have details associated to them such as the claim/channel name or if they came from a LBRY Reward. You can also see additional details by clicking the transaction ID and accessing them in the LBRY block explorer.

1 The amount shown in the transaction list only reflects the revoke/claim fee paid. See transaction details for the amount that is returned to your wallet.

2 If revoke icon is not available, the claim may have already been revoked or there may be an update to the claim (which can be revoked).

3 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. This will be fixed in a future release.

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.
