When withdrawing cryptocurrency from Coins.ph via the Polygon network, understanding block confirmations is crucial for tracking your transaction's progress and ensuring its security. Learn more on how many block confirmations are required for a successful withdrawal on Polygon, ensuring you have a smooth transaction.
What Are Block Confirmations?
Block confirmations are the number of blocks added to the blockchain after your transaction has been included in a block. Each new block added represents another confirmation, increasing the transaction's security and finality.

Why Are Block Confirmations Important?
- Security: Higher confirmation counts increase the security of your transaction, making it less likely to be reversed.
- Transaction Validity: Confirmations help verify that your transaction is valid and has been accepted by the network.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing the required number of confirmations can help you track your transaction status with confidence.
