# ¿Qué es una transacción en cadena?

Una transacción on-chain es una transacción de Bitcoin que se procesa y registra en la cadena de bloques, que es un libro mayor descentralizado e inmutable. Debido a que se registra en la cadena de bloques, una transacción on-chain no puede ser alterada o revertida por nadie una vez que ha sido confirmada.

El tiempo de confirmación para las transacciones on-chain puede variar, pero en promedio toma alrededor de 10 minutos. Sin embargo, durante períodos de alta actividad en la red, puede tomar más tiempo para que una transacción sea confirmada.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://faq.blink.sv/espanol/blink-payment-methods/on-chain/what-is-an-on-chain-transaction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
