Solflare Transaction Pending: A Comprehensive Guide
Solflare is a popular non-custodial wallet used to interact with the Solana blockchain. One common issue that users may encounter is a pending transaction. In this article, we will explore the concept of a pending transaction and provide troubleshooting tips to help resolve the issue.
What is a Pending Transaction?
A pending transaction occurs when a transaction is sent to the Solana network but has not yet been confirmed by the network. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including network congestion, low transaction fees, or issues with the transaction itself. When a transaction is pending, it means that the transaction has been broadcast to the network but has not yet been included in a block.
Why do Pending Transactions Occur?
There are several reasons why pending transactions may occur on the Solana network. Some of the most common reasons include:
- Network congestion: When the network is congested, transactions may take longer to process.
- Low transaction fees: If the transaction fee is set too low, the transaction may not be prioritized by the network.
- Issues with the transaction: If there is an issue with the transaction itself, such as an incorrect recipient address, the transaction may not be processed.
Troubleshooting a Pending Transaction
If you are experiencing a pending transaction on Solflare, there are several steps you can take to try to resolve the issue.
- Check the Solana network status to see if there are any issues with the network.
- Verify that the transaction fee is set correctly.
- Check the recipient address to ensure that it is correct.
- Try cancelling the transaction if it has been pending for an extended period.
Solana Network Status
Before trying to troubleshoot a pending transaction, it is a good idea to check the Solana network status to see if there are any issues with the network.
Cancelling a Pending Transaction
If a transaction has been pending for an extended period, you may want to consider cancelling it. To cancel a pending transaction on Solflare, follow these steps:
- Open Solflare and navigate to the transaction history page.

Cancelling a pending transaction can have risks, including:

- Double spend risk: If you cancel a pending transaction and then re-send the transaction, there is a risk of a double spend.
