How Long Does a Crypto Send Transaction Take on Pluang?

How long a crypto send takes on Pluang depends on two stages, so there's no fixed arrival time. First, Pluang processes the send, and some sends are held for a compliance review before they're broadcast to the blockchain. A send held for review can take several days before it goes ahead or fails, and if it's rejected, your coins return to your balance automatically. Most sends aren't held for review and go straight to the second stage: the blockchain network has to confirm the transfer a set number of times, which can take minutes on a quiet network and longer when it's busy. Until then the send shows as pending, which is normal and doesn't mean anything has gone wrong. You can follow its status on the Transaction History page in the Pluang app, where a Block Explorer link appears once the send is on the blockchain.

• There's no fixed arrival time. Pluang can't guarantee when a send arrives, because it depends on whether the send is held for review and on the blockchain network, which runs outside the app.
• Some sends are held for a compliance review first. Before a send leaves your account, Pluang may hold it for a compliance review. A send held for review can take several days. If the review approves it, it's broadcast as normal; if it's rejected, the coins return to your balance automatically.
• Network conditions are the main factor once a send is broadcast. How quickly a transfer confirms depends on the specific blockchain you're using and how congested it is at that moment. Busy periods naturally slow things down for everyone on that network.
• Confirmations explain the wait. After a send is broadcast, the network must confirm it a set number of times before it's final. Each confirmation takes time, and that's why a transfer can appear "pending" for a while before it lands.
• A low network fee can slow confirmation. On many chains, transactions with lower fees may be picked up more slowly during busy periods, which can add to how long a send takes to confirm.
• Track everything in Transaction History. The Transaction History page in the app shows the live status of each send, so you can see whether a transfer is still pending or has completed without contacting anyone. Once a send is on the blockchain, a Block Explorer link appears there too.
• Pending isn't the same as failed. A pending send is either still held for a compliance review or still being confirmed on the network. A pending status by itself is normal and doesn't mean the funds are lost.

Q: Is there a maximum time a crypto send can take?
No, there's no fixed maximum. Most sends complete once the network confirms them, sometimes within minutes, but the actual time depends on the blockchain and how congested it is when you send. A send held for a compliance review can take several days before it goes ahead or fails. Because part of the process happens on-chain, Pluang can't promise an exact time.

Q: Where can I check the status of my crypto send?
On the Transaction History page in the Pluang app. It shows the real-time status of each transfer, so you can see at a glance whether a send is still pending or has completed. Once the send is on the blockchain, a Block Explorer link appears there so you can follow its confirmations.

Q: Why do some crypto transactions take longer than others?
Partly because some sends are held for a compliance review before they're broadcast, and partly because of the network. Each blockchain confirms transactions at its own pace, and how busy that network is at the moment you send has a big effect. During periods of heavy congestion, confirmations take longer for everyone on that chain. The number of confirmations required before a transfer is final, and the network fee attached to it, can also influence how quickly a particular send completes.

Q: My crypto send is still pending — is something wrong?
Usually not. A pending send is either held for a compliance review, or broadcast but not yet confirmed enough times by the network to be final. Check the Transaction History page: if there's no Block Explorer link yet, the send hasn't reached the blockchain. If a send is rejected or fails, the coins return to your balance automatically.

Q: Does the network fee affect how fast my transaction completes?
It can. On many blockchains, transfers carrying a lower network fee may be confirmed more slowly during busy periods, while the overall speed is still driven mainly by network conditions at the time you send. If timing matters to you, it's worth being aware of current network conditions before you confirm, and then tracking the send's progress on the Transaction History page.
