Transaction receipt

A record of an included Ethereum transaction’s execution result, including status, gas use and logs.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

A receipt tells you what happened after a transaction was included, rather than merely confirming that you submitted it. The status can show success or failure, and the gas information helps explain the fee. A failed transaction can have a receipt too. Inclusion should still be considered alongside the chain's settlement or finality state.

IN THE WILD

How you might use it

Your explorer receipt shows a failed swap and its gas usage, explaining why no tokens moved but a network fee was charged.
