A Sui transaction is final once the network executes it, and the public record is how you confirm that. Your wallet keeps the digest for each transaction you send, and that digest opens the exact record.
What you need before you start
Your wallet lists every transaction you submit in its activity or history tab. Open the entry for the transfer and copy the digest it shows. A digest is a unique identifier derived from the transaction data.
How do you verify a Sui transaction step by step?
Verification means matching the digest in your wallet to the record the network keeps. An explorer gives one page per transaction with the status and the full details.
- 1Open a Sui explorerUse a public Sui block explorer. Reading a transaction needs no account and no wallet connection.
- 2Paste the digestPut the full digest in the search field. An address or object ID opens a different page, so use the digest for the exact transaction.
- 3Read the statusSuccess means the network executed it. Failure means the transaction was rejected or aborted, so the transfer did not go through.
- 4Compare the addressesCheck the sender is your address and the receiver is the one you meant to pay.
- 5Check amount and assetConfirm the amount matches what you sent, and read the effects to see which asset moved.
- 6Check gas fee and timeThe page lists the gas fee you paid and the time the network finalized it. Bookmark the page for your records.
What if the transaction is pending or not found?
A Sui transaction usually confirms within seconds, so a pending entry often just needs a refresh. If there is still no result, check the digest for typos and check the explorer's network.
