Status troubleshooting

Don't worry if your transaction status seems stuck! Blockchain transactions sometimes take time to process. This guide will help you resolve common status issues quickly and easily.

πŸ”„ Common status issues

Transaction statuses that might appear "stuck":

  • "Wallet processing..."

  • "Depositing funds... Transaction pending..."

  • "Canceling... Transaction pending..."

  • "Waiting for customer to deposit funds"

  • "Releasing funds... Transaction pending..."

➑️ These are normal and usually resolve automatically within a few minutes.


⏰ First Step: Wait up to 5 Minutes

🚨 MOST IMPORTANT: Don't panic and wait patiently!

Why transactions can be delayed:

  • TON network congestion - High traffic can slow processing

  • Wallet synchronization - Your wallet may need time to update

  • Smart contract execution - Complex operations take longer

  • Blockchain confirmation - Multiple confirmations are required for security

βœ… In 95% of cases, waiting up to 5 minutes resolves the issue automatically.


πŸ”§ Quick Troubleshooting Steps

Step 1: Wait and Refresh ⏳

  1. Wait 5 full minutes and tap a "Refresh" button at the top of the page:

  2. Close and reopen @workton_freelance_bot

  3. Check if status updated - Most issues resolve automatically

Step 2: Check Your Wallet πŸ’³

  1. Open your TON wallet and make sure you have no warning messages

  2. Verify wallet connection - Ensure it's connected to Workton on your Profile and settings page from the burger menu

  3. Check recent transactions - Look for pending or failed transactions

  4. Confirm wallet balance - Ensure sufficient funds for transaction + gas fees

Step 3: Wallet Troubleshooting πŸ”„

  1. Disconnect and reconnect your wallet from the burget menu on the Workton platform

  2. Try switching wallets if you have multiple options (it works when you don't have any project in process)

  3. Update wallet app to the latest version

  4. Check internet connection - Ensure stable connectivity

Step 4: Balance Verification πŸ’°

For customers (making payments):

  • βœ… USDT balance sufficient for the project amount

  • βœ… TON balance is more 0.3 TON for gas fees

  • βœ… Wallet unlocked and ready for transactions

For Freelancers (Receiving Payments):

  • βœ… Wallet connected to receive USDT

  • βœ… Address is correct and verified
