404: Not Found Transaction not found.

Possible values for the status field of the transaction are:

• mined: Transaction has been included in the blockchain

• pending: Transaction is valid and could potentially be included in the next block

• nonce_too_low: Transaction can never be mined because its nonce is too low, effectively dropped.

• nonce_gapped: The transaction nonce is too high

• not_enough_funds: The transaction sender does not have a balance high enough to pay for the transaction

• base_fee_low: The base fee of the transaction is too low to be included in the next block

• low_priority_fee: The transaction's priority fee is zero

• not_enough_gas: The intrinsic gas of the transaction is too low.

• unknown: There was an issue determining the status of this transaction, check again later

• sanctioned: The sender or receiver is sanctioned by OFAC

• gas_limit_too_high: The gas limit for this transaction is higher than the block gas limit

• invalid_signature: The signature is invalid

• underpriced: There is a transaction with the same nonce that has a higher gas fee.

• expired: The transaction could not get mined in time and was discarded.

• reverting: Transaction is reverting and revert protection is enabled.
