What to writeCreate a “transaction proof” card for one simple send and one contract call. Label hash, status, from, to, value, token movements, approvals (if any), fee, and confirmations. Add one-sentence plain-English summaries.

A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn’t even know existed can render your own computer unusable.

Hash: 0xabc...123  | Status: Success | Time: 2m ago
From: me (0x...)  | To: friend (0x...)
Value: 0.05 test ETH | Fee: small (gas used 21k)
Tokens: none | Approvals: none
Plain English: I sent 0.05 test ETH to friend; it succeeded and cost a normal fee.

Keep these cards as templates whenever you need to prove what happened.
