- How is this native QRL token transfer different from a QRC-20 transfer?
- A native QRL token transfer uses the protocol's `transfer_token` subtype: the chain itself tracks the token's balances, and a single signed envelope can pay multiple recipients of the same token. QRC-20 tokens on QRL 2.0 are smart contracts — transfers happen as contract calls that emit Transfer events. This transaction sits firmly in the PoW chain's native-token world; the originating `token` create transaction is referenced by hash.
- How can I tell if this QRL transaction is fully settled?
- QRL uses Proof-of-Work with cumulative-work resolution rather than protocol-level finality. The conventional rule of thumb is to wait 6-12 block confirmations on top of the confirming block before treating a transaction as fully settled. Click the block link in the action header to navigate to the confirming block, then use Prev/Next to check how many blocks have accumulated on top.
- How is the fee on a QRL transaction determined?
- QRL fees are sender-set: when signing, the sender picks the fee they want to attach. There is no EIP-1559 base-fee market — miners are free to pick whichever transactions they want from the mempool, but in practice they prioritise higher-fee transactions. The Fee column shows exactly what the sender chose to pay; the miner of the confirming block received the full fee.
- Will the contents of this transaction ever change?
- No. Once a transaction has accumulated enough confirmations its contents are effectively permanent — rewriting it would require redoing all the Proof-of-Work for every block on top, which is computationally infeasible. The XMSS signature is also unforgeable under classical and quantum threat models, so the transaction's authorship and content are anchored to history forever.
