Understanding Transaction Status

Familiarize yourself with the different transaction status that shows on the Gem Wallet app.

• ❌ Failed Transaction
• ⏳ Pending Transaction
• 🔁 Reverted Transaction
• ✅ Successful Transaction

❌ Failed Transaction

Failed transactions happen when a transaction does not successfully complete its intended process on the blockchain. This can occur for several reasons:

• Insufficient Fees or Balance
• Rejected transaction
• Smart Contract Failure

note

The transaction Failed because there was not enough Solana balance when the transaction was submitted to the network. This could happen if a transaction was sent out several times before it was confirmed.

⏳ Pending Transaction

Pending transaction refers to a transaction that has been submitted to the blockchain network but has not yet been confirmed. Some possible reasons are:

• Low Transaction Fees
• Network Congestion
• Invalid Transaction Details

🔁 Reverted Transaction

Reverted transaction refers to a transaction that has been canceled or rolled back due to a failure in the execution of the transaction. Some possible reasons are:

• Insufficient Gas Fees or Out of Gas Exception
• Contract Logic Failures
• Invalid Opcode

✅ Successful Transaction

A successful transaction means that the transaction submitted on the network has been fully confirmed. It involves several steps that could differ for every blockchain such as:

• Transaction was submitted to the network.
• Transaction enteres the mempool which is a holding area for transactions.
• A miner or validator selects the transaction from the mempool and includes it on the next block.
• The block containing the transaction has been processed.
• The block is added to the blockchain and gets confirmation from several nodes.
