# Satoshi

## Definition

A satoshi is the smallest standard unit of bitcoin, equal to one hundred-millionth of one BTC.

## What it means in practice

Bitcoin software commonly represents amounts internally as integer satoshis, while wallet interfaces may display BTC or another unit for readability.

## How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

Terenval Wallet displays BTC amounts in a user-friendly format while transactions ultimately resolve to Bitcoin's integer monetary units.

**Important:** Check unit labels carefully when comparing fees or amounts; BTC and satoshi differ by a factor of 100,000,000.
