Ethereum: how to check the number of confirmations on a transaction

As a developer or user Ethereum, you have probably found the frustration of waiting for confirmation periods for transactions. In this article, we will divide how to determine the number of confirmations required for a transaction in Ethereum.

Understanding of confirmation periods

In Ethereum, each transaction is considered “confirmed” once a certain blocking threshold is reached, also known as gas. The amount of time taken for confirmation depends on the level of congestion of the network and the complexity of the processes developed. Here are some general guidelines:

* Small transactions

: 2-4 confirmation (blocking time: from 30 seconds to 1 minute)

* Medium transactions : 5-8 Confirm (blocking time: from 30 seconds to 3 minutes)

* Large transactions : 10-15 Confirm (blocking time: from 3 minutes to 7 minutes)

Block control time

To get an idea of ​​the lock time, you can check the current block number and the Timestamp on your Ethereum or Blockchain Explorer portfolio. Here’s how:

  • Open the Ethereum Wallet app or visit a third -party website.

  • Look for the “block number” field, which shows the current block number (e.g. 1).

3

For example:

Block number: 1

Timestamp: 1643723400

This suggests that the transaction was confirmed for about 4-5 blocks (based on a blocking time from 30 seconds to 3 minutes).

Check the confirmations in your portfolio

If you are using an Ethereum portfolio, such as Metamask or Myetherwallet, you can check the number of confirmations in real time. Here’s how:

  • Open the portfolio app.

  • Go to the “transaction” tab (if available) or go to the “account” section.

  • Look for the field “transactions chronology” or “block number”.

Additional tips

  • Always check the block number and the TimesTamp of a transaction before relying on the confirmation numbers.

  • Take into consideration the use of a third -party browser extension, such as Trust Wallet or Electrum, which provide real -time information on the activity of your Ethereum portfolio.

  • If you are not sure of a specific transaction or its confirmations, consult your Ethereum community or support channels for driving.

By following these steps and understanding the concept of confirmation periods in Ethereum, you will be better equipped to manage your transactions and stay updated on the latest developments in this rapidly growing ecosystem.
