In this case, we define two subconditions with the public keys from Alice and Carly. Next, we set the threshold to **one**.

- Unspent transaction: Previous transaction you have control over (i.e. can fulfill its Output Condition)
- Metadata for transaction (e.g. price of sold bike)
- Unspent outputs: Array of `unspent transactions outputs`. Each item contains `Transaction` itself and index of `unspent output` for that `Transaction`.
- Array of output objects to add to the transaction: Think of these as the recipients of the asset after the transaction. For `TRANSFER` transactions, this should usually just be a list of outputs wrapping Ed25519 conditions generated from the public keys of the recipients.
- Indices of the outputs in `unspent transaction` that this transaction fulfills.

We will fulfill the first and second output of the create transaction (0, 1) because Carly and Bob decide to redistribute some money.
