</Parameter>

### Result

An array of `<object>`, ordered from **newest** to **oldest** transaction,
containing transaction signature information with the following fields:

- `signature: <string>` - transaction signature as base-58 encoded string
- `slot: <u64>` - The slot that contains the block with the transaction
- `err: <object|null>` - Error if transaction failed, null if transaction
  succeeded. See
  [TransactionError definitions](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/c0c60386544ec9a9ec7119229f37386d9f070523/sdk/src/transaction/error.rs#L13)
  for more info.
- `memo: <string|null>` - Memo associated with the transaction, null if no memo
  is present
- `blockTime: <i64|null>` - estimated production time, as Unix timestamp
  (seconds since the Unix epoch) of when transaction was processed. null if not
  available.
- `confirmationStatus: <string|null>` - The transaction's cluster confirmation
  status; Either `processed`, `confirmed`, or `finalized`. See
  [Commitment](/docs/rpc/#configuring-state-commitment) for more on optimistic
