When I get information about transactions in block 1, using the RPC /get_block, I have one format of data. When I get information about transactions in block 2230000, I have a different format of data and I need to use /get_transaction to read more information.

So my question is, how many different formats of transaction does Monero have? What differences do they include? In what blocks these formats are accepted?

  • There are only two tx versions/formats, v1 and v2, as answered. v1 transactions are not RingCT transactions, v2 transactions are RingCT transactions. Miner transactions do not hide the amount (CT) or mix the input (which is of type gen) in a Ring and thus are there is no difference for them between v1 and v2.

  • "for rct, we have 5 types?" <- No. Assuming you're asking about tx input types, there are gen, script, scripthash and key input types, though only gen and key are used IIRC.
