# TransactionMeta

**Type:** GraphQL objects

**Description:**
Execution metadata that defines how a transaction is processed on the Kadena blockchain.

`TransactionMeta` contains contextual information that influences transaction execution,
such as which chain it runs on, how long it remains valid, its gas configuration, and
when it was created. This data is included in every `TransactionCommand` and is critical
for determining how the transaction is validated and scheduled by the network.

## Fields
- chainId (BigInt): The ID of the chain where the transaction will be executed.
- creationTime (DateTime): The timestamp when the transaction was created.
Used by the network to validate transaction age and enforce time-to-live rules.
- gasLimit (BigInt): The maximum amount of gas units the transaction is allowed to consume during execution.
Acts as a safety limit to prevent excessive gas usage.
- gasPrice (String): The price (in KDA) to pay per unit of gas.
Determines the total transaction fee when multiplied by `gasLimit`.
- sender (String): The account name of the sender responsible for paying gas fees.
- ttl (BigInt): The time-to-live (TTL) of the transaction, expressed in seconds.
It defines how long the transaction remains valid after its `creationTime`.
Once this period passes, the transaction expires and will no longer be accepted.
