Inbound confirmations

THORChain requires a certain number of inbound confirmations when receiving an asset on the THORChain network. This is sometimes called the "inbound leg".

Reviewing inbound confirmations is somewhat complicated and technical:

  1. Visit https://thornode.ninerealms.com/thorchain/tx/status/YOUR_TRANSACTION_HASH in your browser
    • Replace YOUR_TRANSACTION_HASH with the Transaction Hash/ID from the earlier procedure
    • If you see the message {"error":"rpc error: code = Unknown desc = internal"} then the Transaction Hash/ID is wrong
    • You can reload this page periodically to see the status of the inbound leg
  2. If the transaction is found, you should be shown a JSON blob (a bunch of technical data in text)
  3. Review the section called inbound_finalised. Attributes:
    • completed: false — the inbound leg is still in progress
    • completed: true — your transaction is not stuck in the inbound leg
  4. Review the section called stages, subsection inbound_observed. Attributes:
    • completed: true — THORChain is aware of the transaction
    • completed: false — THORChain has not yet seen the inbound transaction (may be due to daemon lag)
  5. Review the section called stages, subsection inbound_confirmation_counted. Attributes:
    • external_observed_height — block height of the source asset chain that needs to be reached before the transaction will complete
    • external_confirmation_delay_height — block height the source asset chain
    • remaining_confirmation_seconds — rough ETA of when the transaction will complete. This number usually decreases, but can increase!
  6. Once the entire swap transaction is completed, section swap_finalised should have completed: true
