Zero-Confirmation Transactions on BSV In the world of cryptocurrencies, transaction speed and reliability are often at odds. Bitcoin SV (BSV), however, has taken a different approach — embracing zero-confirmation (0-conf) transactions as a legitimate method for instant payments. What Is a Zero-Confirmation Transaction? In any Bitcoin-based network, a transaction becomes confirmed once it’s included in a block mined on the blockchain. But between the time a transaction is broadcast and the time it's mined, there's a short window where it exists in the mempool — visible to the network but not yet confirmed. This is a zero-confirmation transaction, or 0-conf for short. In most crypto networks, merchants avoid accepting 0-conf payments due to the risk of double-spending. However, BSV flips the script with infrastructure and incentives that make accepting 0-conf safer, faster, and more commercially viable.
