I made a transaction but it was not sent. What could be the reason?

In case you have set up a transaction, but it is not going through, you can check it's status in the Transaction tab in the left side menu of your Ambire Wallet. 

There are three possible transaction statuses that you can have in your Ambire Wallet:

  • Confirmed: the transaction is completed and you can see all the information related to it. If your transaction is listed here then it was executed and you can see it in the explorer of the specific blockchain you are using (e.g. etherscan.io) Screenshot_2023-01-05_at_14.10.57.png
  • Waiting: these transactions are not signed and therefore are not completed. You need to sign the transaction by clicking on the Sign or Reject button so that it can be completed.  Screenshot_2023-01-05_at_14.11.50.png
  • Pending: these transactions are signed and sent, but are waiting to be executed. The delay can be due to a number of reasons, the most common of which is the selected gas fee. If you would like to speed up the transaction, you can click on Speed up. Keep in mind that such transactions will take a bit more time to get executed, so unless you do not want it to be sent straight away, you do not need to speed up the process.Transaction_history_-_pending.png
Therefore, if you have set up a transaction but it is not going through, you should check if it is with a status of Waiting or Pending, and depending on that, either sign it or speed up the process. If your transaction is not in the Transactions tab and it is not visible on the explorer of the network you are using (e.g. Ethereum, Polygon) then it has not been set up on Ambire Wallet and you need to start again. A full tutorial on how to read your transaction history can be found in this article.
