Teach a first-time learner the path from intent to finality.
LET’S PICTURE IT
A friendly guide follows a letter from the sender’s desk to an accepted entry in a shared notebook.

Finalize
Maya prepares an instruction: send 0.01 pretend ETH to Leo.
A local simulation. Nothing is signed or sent to a network.
Write the learner’s starting point
Assume the reader does not know wallet, node or block. Introduce each term when needed and link it to a plain-language explanation.
Draw separate stages
Show preparation, local signing, node checks, possible pending time, inclusion and later finality. Do not visually merge inclusion with a guarantee of immediate finality.
Give the learner control
Use readable labels and Next, Back, Pause and Replay controls. A calm reading mode should retain the explanation while removing moving artwork.
Check the explanation
Ask the learner to identify what a node checks and what pending means. Avoid promises about a global mempool, exact inclusion time or guaranteed transaction success.
Your acceptance target
deliverable: staged SVG + readable text
acceptance: explain pending, inclusion and finality separately
controls: manual steps, pause, replay, reduced motion
Use only local examples and public sample addresses. State the assumptions and limits alongside the result.
QUICK CHECK · NO PRESSURE
Should the explainer equate inclusion with immediate finality?
They are separate states with different guarantees.
