# Transaction status

## Definition

Transaction status describes where a transaction is in its lifecycle, such as created, broadcast, pending, confirmed, failed or finalized depending on the network.

## What it means in practice

Wallet and explorer labels are user-interface interpretations of underlying network data, so exact wording can differ.

## How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

Terenval can present transaction status for supported networks, while the authoritative state ultimately comes from the selected blockchain.

**Important:** Before retrying a transaction, verify its actual network status and hash to avoid accidental duplicate actions.
