Timestamp
A timestamp represents some moment in time. In cryptocurrency, a timestamp represents the exact moment in time that a block was mined and validated by a blockchain network. Cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets also provide transaction timestamps that provide a chronological record of all transactions that have taken place over some period of time in that wallet
Example
“Each Bitcoin transaction includes a timestamp showing when it was confirmed, allowing users to verify the exact time their transfer was processed by the network.”
