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
    • You may need to ensure the Transaction Hash/ID is in all lowercase
    • If you see the message {"error":"rpc error: code = Unknown desc = internal"} then the Transaction Hash/ID is wrong
  2. If the transaction is found, you should be shown a JSON blob (a bunch of technical data in text)
  3. Look through the structured data for a section called stages
    • There are sub-sections called inbound_observed and inbound_confirmation_counted which are related to inbound confirmations
  4. Review the section called inbound_finalised
    • If the completed field is false, then the inbound leg is still in progress
    • If the completed field is true, then your transaction is not stuck in the inbound leg
