# Transaction receipt

## Definition

An Ethereum transaction receipt is a record produced after transaction execution that includes status, gas usage, logs and other execution metadata.

## What it means in practice

Receipts are especially useful for understanding contract interactions and whether execution succeeded or reverted.

## How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

For an EVM transaction viewed through Terenval, receipt data can help explain a failure or confirm emitted contract events.

**Important:** A successful receipt proves network execution status, not that the user intended the contract action.
