Cryptocurrency transactions can sometimes feel complex, especially when trying to understand their status. Whether you're sending crypto to a friend or making a purchase, knowing what each transaction status means is key to managing your funds effectively. In this article, we’ll break down the different transaction statuses you might encounter in Trust Wallet and how to interpret them.
What is Transaction Status?
Transaction status refers to the current state of a cryptocurrency transfer on the blockchain. Each blockchain records transactions in blocks, which are added sequentially to a digital ledger. The status indicates whether your transaction is still processing, completed successfully, or encountered an issue.
When using Trust Wallet, you’ll notice that each transaction has a specific label: Pending, Confirmed, or Failed. Let’s explore what these mean.
Common Transaction Statuses
1. Pending Transactions
A pending status means your transaction has been submitted to the blockchain but hasn’t been processed yet. This can happen for several reasons:
Network congestion: When many users are transacting simultaneously, the network may take longer to process your request.
Low fees: Blockchains prioritize transactions with higher fees. If your fee is too low, miners may delay processing it.
To check more details about a pending transaction in Trust Wallet:
Tap on the transaction and select “View on blockchain explorer.”
This will redirect you to a blockchain explorer where you can see its progress.
If your transaction remains pending for an extended period on, you may have the option to cancel it. For other blockchains, you'll need to wait until it is either processed or dropped by the network.
2. Completed Transactions
A completed status indicates that your transaction has been successfully processed by the blockchain network. Once confirmed, the transaction is final and irreversible.
You can verify confirmations by viewing the transaction on a blockchain explorer. Simply tap on the transaction and select “View on blockchain explorer.” This will redirect you to a blockchain explorer where you can see its progress.
3. Failed Transactions
A failed status means your transaction could not be completed. Common reasons include:
Insufficient gas fees: If the gas fee provided was too low to cover network costs.
Smart contract errors: Issues with interacting with decentralized applications (DApps).
Incorrect address: Sending funds to an invalid or unsupported wallet address.
For more details about failed transactions, tap “View on blockchain explorer” in Trust Wallet. If you need further help resolving issues, consult Trust Wallet’s troubleshooting tools.

Why Confirmations Matter
Confirmations are important for ensuring that your crypto transfer is secure. Each confirmation represents another block added after your transaction was recorded. Most platforms require multiple confirmations before considering funds as fully received. For example:
Bitcoin typically requires 6 confirmations.
Ethereum may require fewer depending on the recipient platform.
The more confirmations your transaction has, the harder it becomes for anyone to reverse or tamper with it.

Whether it's Pending, Confirmed, or Failed, each status provides critical information about where your funds are in the process. Using tools like blockchain explorers and taking advantage of Trust Wallet’s features, you can stay informed and troubleshoot any issues confidently.
