Step 4: Review Transaction​

Before confirming, review:

  • ✅ Recipient address (correct and complete)

  • ✅ Token type (correct token)
  • ✅ Your balance (sufficient funds)
  • ✅ Network (Mainnet or Testnet)

Step 5: Confirm Transaction​

  1. Click "Confirm"
  2. The extension will process your transaction
  3. You'll see a "Processing" screen while the transaction is being submitted

Step 6: Transaction Complete​

Once processed, you'll see:

  • ✅ Transaction hash (unique identifier)
  • ✅ Success message
  • ✅ Link to view transaction in explorer
  • ✅ Option to return to dashboard

Transaction Details​

Transaction Hash​

Every transaction has a unique hash (transaction ID) that:

  • Identifies your transaction on the blockchain
  • Can be used to track transaction status
  • Can be shared with the recipient for verification
  • Can be viewed in the blockchain explorer

Viewing in Explorer​

Click "View in Explorer" to:

  • See transaction details on the blockchain
  • Verify transaction status
  • Check confirmation status
  • View transaction on the public ledger

Transaction Fees​

  • Transaction fees are automatically calculated
  • Fees are deducted from your balance
  • Fee amount depends on network congestion
  • Fees are typically minimal

Transaction Status​

Your transaction can have different statuses:

  • Pending: Transaction submitted, waiting for confirmation
  • Confirmed: Transaction included in a block
  • Failed: Transaction failed (insufficient funds, invalid address, etc.)

Security Tips​

  • ✅ Always verify the recipient address
  • ✅ Double-check the amount before sending
  • ✅ Start with a small test transaction for new addresses
  • ✅ Verify you're on the correct network (Mainnet vs Testnet)
  • ❌ Never send to addresses you don't trust
  • ❌ Be cautious of phishing attempts asking for tokens

Troubleshooting​

"Insufficient balance" error​

Causes:

  • Not enough tokens in your wallet
  • Transaction fees exceed available balance
  • Network fees increased

Solutions:

  • Check your current balance
  • Reduce the amount you're sending
  • Ensure you have enough for fees

Transaction stuck/pending​

Possible causes:

  • Network congestion
  • Low transaction fee
  • Network issues

Solutions:

  • Wait for network confirmation
  • Check transaction status in explorer
  • Verify network connectivity
  • Contact support if stuck for extended period

Wrong address entered​

Important: Transactions cannot be reversed!

If you haven't confirmed yet:

  • Simply cancel and re-enter the correct address

If already sent:

  • Unfortunately, tokens sent to wrong addresses cannot be recovered
  • Always double-check addresses before confirming

Transaction failed​

Common causes:

  • Invalid recipient address
  • Insufficient balance
  • Network error
  • Contract execution error

Solutions:

  • Verify recipient address format
  • Check your balance
  • Try again after checking network status
  • Review error message for specific issue

Best Practices​

  1. Test First: Send a small amount first when using a new address
  2. Verify Address: Always double-check recipient addresses
  3. Check Network: Ensure you're on the correct network
  4. Keep Records: Save transaction hashes for your records
  5. Monitor Balance: Keep track of your balance after transactions
