How to check your transaction history on Trust Wallet? How to use a block explorer?

Accessing Transaction History in Trust Wallet

1. Open the Trust Wallet application on your mobile device and unlock it using your passcode, biometric authentication, or recovery phrase if prompted.

2. Tap the wallet icon located at the bottom navigation bar to enter your wallet dashboard.

3. Select the cryptocurrency asset for which you want to review activity—this could be Ethereum, Binance Coin, Solana, or any other supported token.

4. Scroll down to the “Transaction History” section directly beneath the asset balance display.

5. Each entry shows timestamp, direction (incoming or outgoing), amount, status (confirmed/pending), and a transaction ID labeled as “TXID” or “Hash”.

6. Tap any individual transaction to view full details including fee, block number, sender and recipient addresses, and network confirmation count.

Navigating Trust Wallet’s Built-in Blockchain Explorer

1. Within the detailed transaction view, locate the “View on [Blockchain Name]” button—this appears as a hyperlink next to the TXID.

2. Tapping it launches an embedded browser window pointing to the official explorer for that chain—Etherscan for Ethereum, BscScan for BNB Smart Chain, Solscan for Solana, etc.

3. The page loads with verified on-chain data: input/output addresses, gas used, transaction age, internal transfers, and decoded smart contract interactions where applicable.

4. You can copy the sender or receiver address directly from this screen and paste it into the explorer’s search bar to pull up their full public ledger activity.

5. Some explorers also display token approvals, NFT transfers, and staking events linked to the same address if they occurred on that chain.

Using External Block Explorers Independently

1. Launch a web browser on any device and navigate to a trusted explorer such as Etherscan.io, BscScan.com, Solscan.io, or PolygonScan.com depending on the network.

2. Paste your wallet address or a specific transaction hash into the search field at the top of the page and press Enter.

3. Results return real-time data pulled directly from node-synced blockchain databases—not cached or estimated values.

4. On wallet address pages, scroll to “Token Holdings” to see all ERC-20, BEP-20, or SPL tokens held, including balances invisible in Trust Wallet due to missing custom token configurations.

5. Use the “Analytics” or “Charts” tab on some explorers to examine historical balance changes, inbound/outbound volume trends, and peak activity timestamps.

Verifying Transaction Finality and Confirmations

1. A transaction is considered irreversible once it receives sufficient confirmations—12 for Bitcoin, 30+ for Ethereum mainnet, and varying thresholds across Layer 2s and altchains.

2. In Trust Wallet, pending status means the transaction has been broadcast but not yet included in a block; no confirmations are shown until miners or validators process it.

3. On Etherscan, the “Confirmations” counter updates live—each new block added to the chain increments it by one.

4. Low-gas transactions may stall during network congestion; checking the “Gas Price” and “Priority Fee” fields helps determine whether resubmission with higher fees is advisable.

5. Failed transactions still appear in history with red indicators and consume gas—they do not transfer value but permanently alter the sender’s nonce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does my Trust Wallet show a transaction as “confirmed” but the receiving exchange hasn’t credited funds?A: Exchanges often require additional internal confirmations beyond blockchain finality—Binance may wait for 12 Ethereum confirmations while Kraken requires 30. Always check the deposit requirements listed on the exchange’s asset page.

Q: Can I see NFT transfers in Trust Wallet’s transaction list?A: Yes—if the NFT resides on a supported chain like Ethereum or Polygon and was transferred via standard ERC-721 or ERC-1155 contracts, it appears as a transaction with a “NFT Transfer” label and includes the token ID and collection address.

Q: What does “Internal Txns” mean on Etherscan?A: These represent state changes triggered by smart contract execution—such as token swaps, liquidity additions, or minting—not direct wallet-to-wallet transfers. They are not visible in Trust Wallet’s default history view.

Q: Is it safe to share my wallet address publicly?A: Yes—wallet addresses are designed to be shared openly. However, never disclose private keys, seed phrases, or sign arbitrary messages from unknown sources even if they claim to “verify ownership”.
