A Confirmed Approval Does Not Prove a Swap Was Sent

An approval and an exchange can be separate transactions with separate results. If the approval succeeded and no output appeared, first look for evidence that an exchange request was actually submitted.

Identify what the confirmed hash represents

Open the hash on the correct explorer and compare the operation with your intention. ERC-20 approval sets permission for a spender; it does not by itself exchange the token. Record this as an approval result. Do not rename the same hash a swap receipt because a website presented approval as the first step of a larger workflow. Check the owner, token and spender context before drawing further conclusions.

Look for a distinct exchange record

Inspect wallet activity for a later request matching the intended exchange. If there is a candidate hash, compare its account, destination, time and receipt independently. If no matching record is available, state that submission is unverified. A quote or a website completion animation is insufficient evidence of exchange execution. RunixCoin’s public form currently leaves execution unavailable, even when a quote is returned.

Preserve the existing permission question

A completed approval may remain relevant even if you abandon the intended exchange. MetaMask’s permission guidance distinguishes on-chain allowances from website connections. Disconnecting the site does not settle the allowance. Inspect the permission through a trusted read-only view if needed, using the same chain, owner, token and spender. Avoid repeating approval because the next step appears missing; that creates another request without resolving submission evidence.

Write a useful outcome statement

For example: approval hash confirmed on the intended chain; no separately verified exchange hash; expected token output unestablished. This is more precise than saying the whole swap succeeded or failed. If a later exchange receipt exists, investigate its actual result and recipient separately. A decision to change an existing allowance is its own wallet action with its own review and possible network cost. This page performs no permission change and cannot recover funds or finish an incomplete trade.
