To check an Ethereum transaction, users typically use a block explorer like Etherscan. These tools provide detailed information about transactions, including status, amount, and gas fees. By entering the transaction hash or wallet address, users can track the progress and confirm details.
Key details displayed include the transaction hash, status (pending, successful, or failed), block number, timestamp, sender and receiver addresses, and the amount of Ether transferred. Additional information like gas price, gas limit, and actual gas used is also available.
The transaction status indicates whether it is pending, successful, or failed. Confirmations refer to the number of blocks added to the blockchain after the transaction. More confirmations mean higher security and immutability of the transaction.
If a transaction is delayed or stuck, it may be due to low gas fees or network congestion. Users can speed up transactions by increasing the gas fee. Failed transactions often result from insufficient funds or incorrect details. Reviewing the transaction details and re-submitting with correct parameters can resolve issues.
Always use secure and reputable block explorers to check transactions. Be cautious of phishing sites that mimic legitimate services. Verifying transaction details and monitoring wallet activity helps ensure security and accuracy in managing Ethereum transactions.
