One question
How do crypto payments fit an application?
Map network transaction state to an order without conflating them.
Crypto payments transfer value through crypto-asset networks. Applications still need orders, spending authority, amount and recipient checks, and transaction-state handling.
Submitted, confirmed and delivered are different states. Chains also differ in finality; broadcast is not a universal completion signal.
Historical Payment Kit material combines crypto and other payment methods. Check supported networks against the relevant version; announced future support is not evidence of delivery.
The map connects this topic to blockchain mechanisms and application payments: one explains validation, the other how a transaction corresponds to a business order.

Does broadcasting a transaction complete the order?
