View Transaction in MetaMask

WHAT IT DOES

This tool connects to your MetaMask wallet and fetches detailed information about any confirmed transaction on the blockchain. Given a transaction hash, it retrieves the transaction details including sender, recipient, value transferred, gas used, gas price, effective gas price, total fee, nonce, transaction index, block number, and the raw input data. It also displays the transaction status (success, failed, or pending) and provides a direct link to the block explorer. The tool works across multiple EVM networks including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Base, and others.

HOW TO USE

Connect your MetaMask wallet using the Connect button. Ensure you are on the correct network where the transaction was submitted. Paste the transaction hash (0x-prefixed 64-character hex string) into the input field. Click "Look Up Transaction" to fetch the details. The tool will display the transaction status, block number, sender and recipient addresses (with links to the block explorer), value in ETH, gas usage, gas prices, total fee, nonce, transaction index, network name, and the raw input data. Use "Clear" to reset the view.

TECHNICAL MECHANISM

The tool uses the BGWallet bridge to access the blockchain provider via ethers.js. When you submit a transaction hash, it calls provider.getTransaction(hash) to retrieve the transaction object containing sender, recipient, value, gas price, nonce, and input data. It then calls provider.getTransactionReceipt(hash) to obtain the receipt with status, gas used, effective gas price (post-EIP-1559), and block number. The effective gas price is used for fee calculations instead of the legacy gasPrice to accurately reflect post-EIP-1559 costs. The tool also fetches the block to retrieve the timestamp, displaying the transaction time in the user's local timezone. Addresses are rendered as clickable links to the block explorer for easy verification. The input data is displayed in the raw hex format, which can be decoded with the appropriate contract ABI if needed.

WHAT IT CANNOT SEE

This tool cannot view transactions that have not been confirmed — it requires a transaction hash and will return "not found" for pending or invalid hashes. It cannot view transactions on networks not configured or accessible through the connected RPC endpoint. It cannot view the internal state changes of a transaction beyond what is visible in the receipt and logs — it does not decode custom contract interactions without the contract ABI. It cannot display transaction details for private transactions or transactions on non-EVM networks. It cannot verify if a transaction was successful beyond the chain's status field — some failed transactions may still show status 1 if the contract did not revert. It cannot view transaction details for transactions that have been pruned or are no longer available on the node.

PLEASE NOTE

This tool works only with EVM-compatible wallets connected via the BGWallet bridge. The transaction must be on the same network that your wallet is currently connected to — switch to the correct network before looking up a transaction. The tool requires a valid RPC endpoint provided by your wallet. Some networks may have slower RPC response times. The transaction input data is displayed as raw hex — decoding it requires knowledge of the contract ABI. This tool is provided as a transaction viewer utility and does not support transaction replay, simulation, or tracing. Always verify critical transaction details directly on the block explorer for important decisions.
