eth_getTransactionReceipt

Last updated:

`eth_getTransactionReceipt` retrieves the receipt produced when a transaction was mined into a block. The receipt is the authoritative record of what actually happened on-chain: whether the transaction succeeded, how much gas it consumed, the logs (events) it emitted, and — when the transaction created a contract — the address of the deployed contract.

Use this method to **confirm a transaction's outcome** after you have submitted it with [eth_sendRawTransaction](./eth_sendRawTransaction.md). A common pattern is to poll this method with the transaction hash until a non-null receipt is returned, then read `status` to determine success or failure.

The method returns `null` when the transaction is still **pending** (not yet mined) or **unknown** (never seen by the node, or dropped from the mempool). A `null` result is not an error — it simply means there is no receipt yet. Note that a non-null receipt does not by itself guarantee finality; for high-value flows, wait for a sufficient number of block confirmations after the receipt appears.
