 Bitcoin has two levels of timelocks: transaction-level timelocks and output-level timelocks.

-A transaction-level timelock is recorded in the transaction header and prevents the entire transaction from being accepted before the timelock has passed. Transaction-level timelocks are most often used in conjunction with output-level timelocks.
+A transaction-level timelock is recorded in the transaction `nLockTime` field of the transaction and prevents the entire transaction from being accepted before the timelock has passed. Transaction-level locktimes are the most commonly used lock time mechanism in Bitcion today.
