# What are confirmations, and why is my transaction pending?
## “Pending” means the blockchain is still confirming your transaction.
Confirming on chain means we’re waiting on the blockchain to verify and record your transaction.
The status will update as soon as the blockchain confirms your transaction.
After a transaction is sent:
- The network must confirm it
- Some networks are faster than others
- High traffic can slow things down
While confirming, your transaction may show as **Pending**. This is normal.
You can track progress on your **Activity** page and view the transaction on the blockchain.
