Exploring Transactions

Transactions are the fundamental units of change on the Stellar network. Each transaction contains one or more operations that modify the ledger state.

Finding a Transaction

There are two ways to find a transaction:

1. By hash — Paste a transaction hash into the search bar
2. By browsing — Navigate to the Transactions page to see recent transactions

Transaction Details

Each transaction page shows:

• Status — Whether the transaction succeeded or failed
• Ledger — The ledger that included this transaction
• Source Account — The account that submitted the transaction
• Fee — The fee paid in XLM (displayed in stroops in Developer Mode)
• Operations — The list of operations within the transaction
• Effects — The resulting changes to the ledger

Operations

A transaction can contain up to 100 operations. Common operation types include:

Operation	Description
payment	Transfer XLM or another asset
createAccount	Fund a new account
changeTrust	Add or remove a trustline
manageData	Set or clear account data entries
invokeHostFunction	Execute a Soroban smart contract

Each operation is displayed in a card showing its type, parameters, and the accounts involved.
