This page explains how to approach API Accounts and Balances Common Mistakes with a safety‑first workflow and verifiable checkpoints.
Steps
Start by confirming Mainnet, Nile, or Shasta in the header. Paste a hash like 0xc0a03638033ac41e15… or an address such as T4uVFsSMuU… to open the detail page. Validate status, confirmations, energy and bandwidth cost, then cross‑check values in a secondary explorer if the decision is critical.
Open the token/contract panel to match symbol and decimals and review event logs. For transfers, compare the first and last characters of sender T4uVFs… and receiver TrOXG2… to avoid clipboard mistakes. Use bookmarks for trusted explorers to mitigate phishing risks.
When results look odd, clear cache, refresh, and try another browser. If pending persists, check resources on the account page; staking or adjusting resources can help. Record the TX ID 0xc0a03638033a… for audits and support tickets.
