Contents
Overview
This page explains how to approach Whale Alerts via API Quickstart with a safety‑first workflow and verifiable checkpoints.
Steps
Start by confirming Mainnet, Nile, or Shasta in the header. Paste a hash like 0x2d756c32096b2c76c3… or an address such as T02A5kw32G… 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 T02A5k… and receiver T3pFl8… 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 0x2d756c32096b… for audits and support tickets.
