01Start with an execution record
PLIX looks up a Solana transaction using its signature. The server checks the RPC network and requests a parsed transaction at finalized commitment, supporting legacy and version-0 transactions.
The receipt groups the network fee, account balance changes and instruction path. Every result includes an explorer link so you can inspect the source transaction.

02Read what changed in each account
For SOL, PLIX subtracts each account’s pre-transaction balance from its post-transaction balance. Lamports are displayed as SOL. The network fee is shown separately, but is already part of the fee payer’s net balance change.
SPL token changes are matched by account index and mint. Quantities are calculated from raw integer token amounts using the recorded decimals. Mint addresses identify tokens without relying on potentially misleading ticker names.
If one side of a token balance is absent, PLIX shows it as unreported and does not invent a zero. Account creation, closure, wrapping and rent can affect how you interpret the receipt. Net changes are not a complete transfer history or profit calculation.
03One transaction, multiple programs
The transaction message contains top-level instructions. Programs can also call other programs during execution; recorded inner instructions expose those calls.
PLIX places inner calls under their parent instruction and shows the program address and parsed instruction type when the RPC provides it. This helps you follow token transfers and account operations that sit behind a single application action.
Custom program instructions may remain unparsed. PLIX shows that limitation instead of assigning a guessed swap, purchase or burn label.
04Finalized does not mean successful
A finalized transaction can still have an execution error. PLIX displays the execution result separately and includes the reported error when present. Failed execution must not be read as a completed trade; network fees can still be charged.
If a finalized receipt is unavailable, the interface reports that state. The transaction may not yet be finalized, the network may be wrong, or the RPC may not retain the requested history.

05Evidence you can take with you
Download a JSON receipt to retain the exact normalized result returned by PLIX. It records the network, signature, slot, queried time and reported changes. It is not a signed certificate; use the chain record as the reference.
Is PLIX a token scanner or a safety score?
No. PLIX describes transaction data. A successful transaction or a familiar program address does not establish that a token, app or investment is safe.
Does PLIX need access to my wallet?
No. You supply a public transaction signature. The server sends that signature to the selected network’s RPC provider. No signing, transfers or token approvals are requested.
Why is my transaction missing?
Check the network and signature. The public RPC may be rate-limited or lack historical data. A dedicated RPC with transaction history can be configured for production.
