confirmTransaction

Note: This is a client-side helper method, not a standard Solana JSON-RPC endpoint. It is provided by client libraries such as @solana/web3.js and internally uses getSignatureStatuses to poll for transaction confirmation.

This is a client-side helper method, not a standard Solana JSON-RPC endpoint. It is commonly provided by Solana client libraries (such as @solana/web3.js) to poll for transaction confirmation. Under the hood, it typically calls getSignatureStatuses repeatedly until the transaction reaches the desired commitment level or times out. It simplifies the common pattern of waiting for transaction confirmation after submission.

Parameters

#TypeRequiredDescription
1stringYesTransaction signature (base-58 encoded)
2objectNoConfiguration object

Configuration object fields:

FieldTypeDescription
