Before you begin

  • Use the genuine application and keep private backups private.

Steps

  1. Check synchronization status and confirm privately that you selected the intended wallet. After restoration, check that the backup belongs to that wallet.
  2. Inspect transaction details and distinguish sent, received and fee amounts. Treat embedded transaction metadata as untrusted; it can contain misleading links.
  3. If the result remains unexpected, contact support with the application version and visible status. Avoid repeatedly sending funds or deleting data while the outcome is uncertain.

Expected result

You have a clearer account of the discrepancy. No particular stuck-transaction remedy or recovery outcome is established here.

Consequences and precautions

  • Changing or approving wallet operations can affect funds.

If you cannot continue safely

  • Stop if unsure; contact human support before changing wallet data.

Keep your wallet safe

  • Never disclose recovery phrases, seed words, private keys or spending passwords.
  • Do not delete, reset or move wallet data using generic instructions.

When to contact support

  • The symptom persists after the safe diagnostic steps, or funds appear at risk.
