What is a blockchain confirmation?

A blockchain confirmation occurs when a transaction has been verified and recorded in a block on the blockchain network.
​
Each time a new block is added to the chain, the transaction receives an additional confirmation.
​
Confirmations help ensure that the transaction is valid and secure.
​
Depending on the network being used, several confirmations may be required before a transaction is considered fully processed.
