Investigate a Pending Transaction Without Resubmitting

Start with evidence of submission. A spinning button, wallet prompt or quote result alone does not establish that a transaction reached a network. Avoid creating repeated requests while the original state is unclear.

Find the hash and correct chain

Record the transaction hash from the wallet that submitted the action and the network on which it was sent. Open the corresponding explorer and search for that hash. If you only have a quote identifier, a screenshot or an account address, label it accurately; those are not substitutes for a transaction hash. For Base, use the mainnet or testnet explorer that matches the actual request.

Read inclusion and status separately

Ethereum’s transaction documentation distinguishes pending transactions from those included in blocks. A receipt provides execution information after inclusion. Look for the block and execution status rather than assuming that any explorer search result means success. A failed transaction can still have a receipt. Record the observed status and lookup time, because a pending result can change later.

Handle a missing result carefully

If the hash is not found, compare every character and confirm the chain before concluding that funds disappeared. Consider whether the original action was declined before submission or existed only in a development environment. An unavailable explorer or RPC response leaves the state unresolved; it is not proof of failure. Do not send an identical action just to test whether the first one existed.

Keep replacement decisions in the wallet

Replacement or cancellation workflows depend on the account, nonce and wallet implementation. This guide does not prepare or send them. If human review is needed, provide the public hash, network, observed status and sanitized error text. Never provide a key or recovery phrase. RunixCoin’s public quote flow does not submit swaps, so its quote response cannot itself be investigated as a pending swap transaction.
