Transactions ​
This section explains how they work, how to manage pending transfers, and what to watch out for with different blockchains.
Every blockchain transaction requires gas (a network fee). Fees depend on network congestion and chain rules. Small transfers can be uneconomical during peak congestion; consider waiting or using a lower-fee chain.
Blockchain transactions are final once broadcast/confirmed. You generally cannot cancel them. If you send to a wrong address or unsupported network, funds are typically unrecoverable. Double-check chain, address, and any required memo/tag before sending.
Pending transactions & speeding up ​
- Bitcoin (UTXO): Speed-ups require the original tx to be flagged “replaceable” (RBF) and a higher-fee replacement. If not RBF, you must wait for miners or try CPFP (advanced).
- EVM chains: You can “speed up” or “cancel” by sending a same-nonce transaction with a higher max fee. Actual success depends on timing/miners.
