Endianness in Decred Transaction Hashing
Endianness plays a subtle yet critical role in how transaction data is serialized and hashed. It determines how numeric values are represented at the byte level, sometimes reversing their order and causing values to look unfamiliar in hexadecimal form. Meanwhile, raw byte streams, such as hashes or signatures, remain untouched. Recognizing this difference helps you accurately interpret transaction structures and avoid confusion when comparing serialized data to its original form.
