You sent or received crypto on Aptos and want to confirm on-chain that it worked. You need the transaction hash from your wallet and a browser.
What you need before you start
A wallet keeps a record of every transfer you make. That record includes a transaction hash and a network label. You need both before you search an explorer.
How to verify an Aptos transaction
Verification happens on a block explorer, not inside your wallet. The explorer reads public data from the Aptos network and shows one transaction at a time. You will compare what it shows with what your wallet recorded.
- 1Open an official explorerUse the explorer from the Aptos Foundation or a well-known team. Check the web address.
- 2Paste the transaction hashPut the full hash in the search field and submit it.
- 3Match the networkSet the explorer to Mainnet or Testnet, the same one your wallet used. Aptos Mainnet launched in October 2022, and Testnet is separate. The same hash is not shared across networks, so check the label first.
- 4Check sender and receiverCompare the from and to addresses with your wallet.
- 5Check amount and tokenConfirm the amount and token symbol match your transfer.
- 6Check gas and statusLook at the gas fee and the success or failure result.
- 7Know the finalityA confirmed Aptos transaction is final and cannot be reversed.
After verifying: records and account safety
After a successful result, save the hash and a screenshot. These records help if you contact support or report the transaction for taxes. The IRS treats crypto as property.
Frequently asked questions
Check that you copied the full hash and that the explorer matches your wallet's network. If it still does not appear, the transaction may not have been submitted.
Aptos usually confirms within seconds. If the explorer shows pending, wait and refresh.
Yes. A block explorer reads public ledger data, so you do not connect a wallet. You still need the transaction hash to look it up.
A failed status means the network recorded the transaction but the transfer did not complete. Gas is usually still spent.
