Transaction States

Action: A user initiates a transaction on the RWALayer network.

State: Pending Confirmation

Upon initiation, transactions enter a pending state, awaiting confirmation. This preliminary phase denotes the transaction’s initiation.

How to Track: Access pending transactions through RWALayer’s monitoring tools or use the JSON-RPC method eth_getBlockByNumber with the block number parameter set to pending.

Action: The transaction is processed by the Sequencer.

State: Sequencer Validation

Transactions successfully validated by the Sequencer are marked as “sequencer confirmed” or “unsafe.” While included in a block, these transactions remain subject to further validation before blockchain confirmation.

How to Track: Monitor the latest “sequencer validated” block using eth_getBlockByNumber with the block number parameter set to safe.

Action: The transaction is confirmed on the blockchain.

State: Blockchain Confirmation

Upon confirmation on the blockchain, transactions achieve “blockchain confirmed” status, signifying inclusion in a block pending publication to the broader network. Despite progress, uncertainties persist due to re-org.

How to Track: Query the latest “blockchain confirmed” block using eth_getBlockByNumber with the parameter set to safe.

Action: The transaction is finalized and embedded in the blockchain.

State: Finalization

Finalized transactions are securely embedded within the blockchain, representing completed actions within RWALayer’s immutable ledger. With all uncertainties dispelled, finalized transactions ensure data integrity and transactional certainty.

How to Track: Stay updated on finalized transactions through RWALayer’s interface or eth_getBlockByNumber with the parameter set to finalized.
