1. What is a transaction accelerator?
A transaction accelerator is a service that helps speed up the confirmation process of cryptocurrency transactions, especially during network congestion or when a user has set low transaction fees. By using this service, transactions will be prioritized by the miners and can be confirmed quicker than they otherwise would be.
2. Why does it take so long for a transaction to be confirmed?
The confirmation time for a cryptocurrency transaction depends on various factors, such as the network traffic, the transaction fees, and the priority assigned to the transaction by the user.
When the network is congested (i.e., many users initiate transactions at the same time), this can result in a backlog of unconfirmed transactions. Network miners can only process a limited number of transactions simultaneously, resulting in longer wait times.
In addition, if the user sets a lower transaction fee, miners will be less likely to prioritize their transactions.
Other possible factors that can affect transaction confirmation times include network latency, bandwidth, and the overall efficiency of the blockchain network.
3. When can I use a transaction accelerator?
You can consider using a transaction accelerator under the following circumstances:
- Transaction confirmation delays: Youâve been waiting longer than usual for a transaction to be confirmed due to significant network congestion.
- Time-sensitive transactions: You want to confirm the transaction as quickly as possible.
- High-priority transactions: Your transaction requires special attention due to its criticality or urgency.
4. Can I cancel my acceleration request?
You cannot cancel transaction acceleration requests and no refunds will be provided.
5. How long will it take to confirm my transaction after using a transaction accelerator?
The time it takes to confirm your transaction after using a transaction accelerator varies based on several factors, including network traffic, transaction fees, and the involvement of mining pools. While accelerators aim to speed up the confirmation process, a specific timeframe cannot be guaranteed.
Typically, transaction accelerators can get your transactions confirmed within the next few blocks. However, it ultimately depends on the mining resources and the networkâs state. A transaction accelerator only increases the likelihood of your transaction getting confirmed faster than usual, but it cannot guarantee the exact confirmation time.
6. Why is my transaction accelerated by other pools?
Binance Pool collaborates with leading mining pools to offer the quickest BTC transaction acceleration service. If you see a mining pool other than Binance Pool confirming your transaction, it could be one of the partner pools.
7. How much does using the Binance BTC Transaction Accelerator cost?

8. What is a Transaction ID (TxID) and where can I find it?
A transaction ID, also known as a transaction hash or TxID, is a unique alphanumeric identifier assigned to a cryptocurrency transaction on the blockchain. It allows you to track, verify, and confirm the status of a transaction. By searching for the TxID on a blockchain explorer, you can access transaction details, such as the sender's and receiver's addresses, the amount transferred, the transaction fee, and the number of block confirmations.
You can find a Bitcoin transactionâs TxID by following these steps:
1. Go to the exchange or cryptocurrency wallet where you initiated the transaction.
2. Visit the transaction history or activity log page from your profile/dashboard or wallet management page.
3. Find the transaction you're looking for and check its details. You should see a unique alphanumeric string of characters labeled as âtransaction IDâ or âTxIDâ.
4. If you want to view more details about the transaction, such as the sending and receiving addresses, amounts, fees, and confirmations, copy the TxID and paste it into a Bitcoin blockchain explorer.
