Web3 Activity Feed Interpretation Guide
Learn how to read and interpret on-chain transaction history displayed on identity cards and portfolio dashboards.
Transaction Types Explained
- • Token transfers show sender, receiver, amount, and token symbol with a direct link to the block explorer.
- • Contract interactions display the method name and target contract, helping viewers understand DeFi activity.
- • NFT mints and transfers are highlighted separately with collection metadata for quick identification.
Reading Gas and Fee Data
- • Gas used and gas price together determine the total transaction cost in the native chain token.
- • High gas fees during peak network usage are normal and do not indicate a problem with the transaction.
- • Failed transactions still consume gas, so they appear in the activity feed with a failed status badge.
Using Activity Data for Security
- • Unexpected outbound transfers may indicate compromised keys or malicious approvals.
- • Regular review of the activity feed helps detect unauthorized contract interactions early.
- • Cross-reference activity timestamps with your own records to spot transactions you did not initiate.
