Ethereum: Unconfirmed Transaction > 22 Hours
I realize that this topic has been covered extensively online, with many solutions and workarounds available. However, I couldn’t find a detailed answer to my question aside from the obvious suggestion of waiting.
To be clear, an unconfirmed transaction on Ethereum refers to a transaction that has not yet been confirmed by the Ethereum network’s validators. These transactions are essentially “pending” until they are verified and added to the blockchain.
The time it takes for a transaction to go through the validation process can vary greatly depending on several factors, including:
- Network congestion: High traffic on the network means that more transactions will take longer to be processed.
- Transaction complexity: Transactions with multiple steps (e.g., sending and receiving assets) take longer to validate than simple transactions.
- Validator load: The number of validators currently validating transactions can impact processing speed.
On average, a transaction takes around 10 minutes to go through the validation process on Ethereum, but this can range from a few seconds to several hours or even days, depending on the factors mentioned above.
Given that you submitted your transaction yesterday and it has now taken over 22 hours for it to be processed, it’s likely still pending verification. However, I must stress that there is no guaranteed timeline for processing time, and Ethereum’s validation process can be unpredictable at times.
If you’re experiencing delays or issues with your transaction, I recommend checking the following:
