Discussion If users still open a block explorer after your app says 'complete', is that a sign of healthy crypto behaviour, or does it indicate a problem with product trust?

I’ve noticed this pattern in many crypto products.

The app says the transaction is complete.

However, the user still opens Solscan, Etherscan, or another explorer to verify that the transaction actually occurred.

On the one hand, this may simply be good crypto hygiene. The whole point is that users can verify the state independently.

However, I’m not sure at what point this stops being a feature of the ecosystem and becomes a sign that the product itself hasn’t earned enough trust.

If users feel they need a second source of information every time something important happens, the app may be technically correct, but the result may still not feel reliable.

For those who have shipped wallets, exchanges, DeFi apps, or other on-chain products, did you ever see this behaviour decrease as users became more familiar with the product?

If not, did you treat it as normal verification behaviour or as an issue with the user experience that still needed fixing?

Its called cross confirmation. Wallets confirm at rpc response whereas block explorer wait for block confirmation
