Pending transaction

Definition

A pending transaction has been broadcast but has not yet been included in a block.

How pending transaction works

A pending transaction has been broadcast but has not yet been included in a block.

Read a broadcast transfer without prematurely calling it settled.

Example

28 broadcast transfers include 20 already included in blocks: 28 - 20 = 8 transfers still awaiting inclusion in this snapshot. This pending transaction example uses hypothetical inputs.

Common mistakes

  • Treating a transaction hash as proof of block inclusion.
