About the Bitcoin Transaction Status Checker
After you send bitcoin, the first question is whether it has arrived. Paste the transaction ID (txid) from your wallet or exchange and this tool shows whether the transaction is still waiting in the mempool or already mined into a block. For a confirmed payment you see the block number, the time and the number of confirmations. For every transaction you see the fee, the fee rate in satoshis per virtual byte, the size, and how many inputs and outputs it has. The lookup is read-only and uses the free public API of mempool.space, with blockstream.info as a backup. Nothing passes through Tezmy Tools, and the tool never needs a seed phrase or key.

How to use the Bitcoin Transaction Status Checker
- 1Copy the transaction ID (txid) from your wallet or the exchange withdrawal page.
- 2Paste it into the box. It is 64 characters made of the digits 0-9 and the letters a-f.
- 3Press Check status.
- 4Read whether it is confirmed, the number of confirmations, the fee and the fee rate.
- 5If it is unconfirmed, compare its fee rate with current fees and decide whether to wait.
Reading the result
A transaction goes through two stages. First it is broadcast and sits in the mempool, a waiting room that every node keeps. Then a miner includes it in a block, and from that moment it has one confirmation. Each later block adds one more confirmation, and reversing the payment gets harder with each one.
The fee rate is the number to watch for a waiting transaction. Blocks have limited space, so miners choose payments that pay the most per virtual byte. A payment of 2 sat/vB when others pay 20 can wait for days. The transaction size depends on the number of inputs and outputs, which you can estimate with the Bitcoin Transaction Fee Calculator.
What to do if a payment is stuck
- Wait first. Fees fall at weekends and at night, and a low-fee payment often clears on its own.
- Use your wallet's fee bump (replace-by-fee) if it has one. The receiver can also use child-pays-for-parent.
- Never pay a stranger who offers to speed up your transaction for a fee. That is a common scam.
- Keep the txid until the payment has at least six confirmations. It is your proof of payment.

Frequently asked questions
What is a transaction ID?
A transaction ID, or txid, is a 64-character code that identifies one Bitcoin transaction. Your wallet or exchange shows it after you send. It is different from an address, which is shorter and starts with 1, 3 or bc1.
How many confirmations are enough?
One confirmation means the transaction is in a block. Many services accept small payments after one to three confirmations and larger payments after six, which takes about an hour on average. There is no hard rule: more confirmations mean more safety.
Why is my transaction still unconfirmed?
Miners pick the transactions that pay the highest fee rate. If the fee rate you paid is lower than what others offer right now, yours waits. Compare its fee rate with the numbers in the Bitcoin Fee Estimator. Some wallets let you speed it up with a higher fee.
It says nothing was found. What now?
Check that you copied all 64 characters. A very new transaction can take a few seconds to appear, and a transaction with a very low fee can be dropped from the mempool. Wait a little and try again, or check the wallet that sent it.
What is a virtual byte?
A virtual byte (vB) is the size unit used for fees since SegWit. It is the weight of the transaction divided by four. The fee rate is the fee divided by this size.
Can this tool cancel or speed up a transaction?
No. It only reads public data. Speeding up a stuck payment is done in your wallet with replace-by-fee or child-pays-for-parent, if it supports them.
Is looking up a txid private?
A txid is public, but the lookup service sees your IP address and the ID you ask about. Use a VPN if that matters to you.
