# Read a wallet transaction

I'll paste a transaction hash, or a screenshot from a block explorer or wallet. Tell me what happened.

## What I want back

**1. What this transaction did, in one sentence.** Like you'd explain it to my parents.

**2. Who paid what to whom.** Token, amount, both addresses (with any ENS or label you can find), in plain language.

**3. Was the gas reasonable?** Yes / no / very high / dust. Don't quote me wei.

**4. Does this look normal?** Routine transfer, contract interaction, a swap, a bridge, an approval, an NFT thing — and is anything about it suspicious?

**5. The one thing to double-check.** If there's an approval involved, name it specifically. If not, say "nothing."

## Rules

- Don't lecture me about self-custody.
- If you genuinely can't tell what happened, say so and tell me what to look up.
- Translate hex addresses to short forms (0xabc...123) unless I need the full thing.
