Open kaspa.stream or Kaspa Explorer, then look up the transaction ID supplied after your transaction was broadcast. The transaction ID is the reference used to track a transaction on an explorer. Both sites are listed as Kaspa explorers in the community wiki. [1][2]
Check your transaction step by step
- Find the transaction ID. Open the transaction details in the wallet you used. If you withdrew from an exchange, check its withdrawal record for the transaction ID, sometimes called a “TXID.” Use this reference rather than the amount alone: the community wiki’s command-line wallet guide says a transaction ID is shown when a transaction is broadcast, and that you can follow its status on the Kaspa explorer. [1]
- Open an explorer in your browser. Use kaspa.stream or Kaspa Explorer for a mainnet transaction, meaning a transaction involving real KAS rather than test coins. The community wiki lists both under its mainnet explorers. [2]
- Search for the transaction ID and open the matching result. Compare the receiving address with the address you intended to pay. Look at the transaction’s inputs, the coins it spends, and outputs, the coins it creates. In a wallet demonstration, Yonatan Sompolinsky and host Vlad Costea examined an input, a payment and change returned to the sender. An extra output can therefore be change, not a second payment to someone else. [3]
- Use your wallet’s explorer shortcut when available. For example, Kastle’s documentation says that opening KAS history and tapping “See your activity” takes you to an explorer page showing your wallet’s activity. [4]
Understand what you are looking at
An address page and a transaction page answer different questions. An address page helps you review activity associated with that address. A transaction page lets you inspect a particular transfer and follow the coins it spends or creates. Trust the balance shown on the address page rather than adding up the payments listed: some of those coins may already have been spent. [5][4]
An explorer can also help when wallet history appears incomplete. The community wiki explains that a wallet can lose locally displayed transaction history while the address balance remains unaffected. Missing history in the wallet does not, by itself, mean that the coins have disappeared. [6]
If the transaction involves a covenant
For a covenant, a coin controlled by spending rules, kaspa.stream also offers a Covenant filter marked with a hand symbol. On 5 October 2026, supertypo explained that you can open a transaction and follow its inputs and outputs through the covenant’s creation, continuations and termination. [7] In a follow-up post on 6 October, supertypo added that kaspa.stream will improve over time and that covenant support is still early. [8]
Never share your recovery phrase. Nobody from Kaspa messages you first offering help.
