# How to track a crypto transaction (TXID, status, confirmations)

When you send crypto, the wallet can show “In progress” for a while. That’s normal. The simplest way to understand what’s happening is to track the transaction using its **TXID** in a blockchain explorer.

## What is TXID, and why it matters

**TXID** is the transaction ID (hash). Think of it as a universal receipt that any explorer can show. It’s the best thing to share with a merchant or support when you need to prove that you sent a payment.

## What “confirmations” mean

After a transaction is included in a block, it can receive confirmations. More confirmations generally means more certainty that the transaction is final.

In practice:

* A transaction can be visible in an explorer before it is fully confirmed.
* Some services wait for a specific number of confirmations before crediting a deposit.

## Why a transaction can be “pending”

Common reasons include:

* The network is busy.
* The fee is not high enough for current conditions.
* The recipient service is waiting for more confirmations.
* You used the wrong network or missing memo/tag for a deposit flow.

## If the recipient says “we did not receive it”

Send them:

* The **TXID**.
* The explorer link.
* The network used (TON, TRON, Solana).

This is usually enough to resolve the situation quickly.
