wallet-cli tx status

Show confirmation status of a transaction.

Synopsis

wallet-cli tx status --txid <id> [options]

Description

Reports which step a transaction is at, using four states, on TRON and EVM networks alike. After sending, scripts and agents poll it to learn whether the tx made it on-chain and succeeded. These four state values are stable — they won't be renamed or dropped across versions — so you can program against them (see the wallet-cli.result.v1 output contract in machine-interface).

data.state Meaning Terminal?
confirmed Included in a block, with an execution result / receipt available; blockNumber present yes
failed Included and reverted / rejected yes
pending Seen by the node, with no execution result / receipt yet no — keep polling
not_found Unknown to the queried endpoint (wrong network, not propagated, dropped, or pruned); the outcome is unknown no — keep polling and reconcile; do not assume failure

confirmed is an inclusion-and-receipt state, not a finality guarantee. If a workflow needs finality, verify it separately with a TRON SolidityNode view or an EVM finalized-block check.

A polling deadline that ends in pending or not_found is still an unknown outcome. Do not record it as a failure, and do not use it as an automatic resend trigger; reconcile the txid against the intended network and endpoint first.

Options

Option Description
--txid <string> Required. Transaction id/hash — bare hex on TRON, 0x… on EVM

Plus the global options.

Examples

wallet-cli tx status --txid 1789b6e3d420d84f21013fa4e18ecd2c60df1accb7101fd71c2511b75835c0cd --network nile
TxID           1789b6e3d420d84f21013fa4e18ecd2c60df1accb7101fd71c2511b75835c0cd

{"schema":"wallet-cli.result.v1","success":true,"command":"tx.status","data":{"txid":"1789b6e3d420d84f21013fa4e18ecd2c60df1accb7101fd71c2511b75835c0cd","state":"confirmed","confirmed":true,"failed":false,"blockNumber":70604611,"confirmations":19},"meta":{"durationMs":1817,"warnings":[]},"chain":{"family":"tron","network":"tron:3448148188","chainId":"3448148188"}}

The same query on an EVM network, by 0x hash:

wallet-cli tx status --txid 0x55b0068ef31bce39bbf5b06d456eaef307fd77f96d85ea291f48c1ae4b900d80 --network sepolia -o json
{"schema":"wallet-cli.result.v1","success":true,"command":"tx.status","data":{"txid":"0x55b0068ef31bce39bbf5b06d456eaef307fd77f96d85ea291f48c1ae4b900d80","state":"confirmed","confirmed":true,"failed":false,"blockNumber":11576586,"confirmations":0},"meta":{"durationMs":408,"warnings":[]},"chain":{"family":"evm","network":"eip155:11155111","chainId":"11155111"}}

An unknown txid is a success with state: "not_found" (exit 0) — the query worked; the answer is "not there":

{"schema":"wallet-cli.result.v1","success":true,"command":"tx.status","data":{"txid":"0000…0000","state":"not_found","confirmed":false,"failed":false},"meta":{"durationMs":1022,"warnings":[]},"chain":{"family":"tron","network":"tron:3448148188","chainId":"3448148188"}}

On EVM, not_found also carries a meta.warnings entry, because a public endpoint that has pruned its history is indistinguishable from a hash that never existed:

{"…":"…","data":{"txid":"0x0000…0000","state":"not_found","confirmed":false,"failed":false},"meta":{"durationMs":407,"warnings":["0x0000…0000 is unknown to this endpoint. Public nodes often prune history, so this may mean the node has no record of it rather than that it never existed; try an archival endpoint."]},"chain":{"family":"evm","network":"eip155:11155111","chainId":"11155111"}}

Output

Field Type Meaning
txid string Echo of the queried id
state string confirmed / failed / pending / not_found
confirmed / failed boolean Direct-branch conveniences mirroring state
blockNumber number Present when confirmed
confirmations number Blocks on top of the including block; present when confirmed

Exit status

0 query answered (including not_found) · 1 execution failure (node unreachable, timeout) · 2 usage error.
