How long should I wait for my transaction to process?

Same Zone: Referred to as an “internal” transaction. These transactions receive settlement in ~10 seconds.

Near-Coordinate: A near-coordinate transaction is an “external” transaction that traverses from one zone to another zone under the same region. For example, a transaction from Cyprus-1 to Cyprus-2 is considered “near-coordinate.” Near-coordinate transactions receive settlement in ~300 seconds.

Far-Coordinate: A far-coordinate transaction is an “external” transaction that traverses from one zone to another zone under a different region. For example, a transaction from Cyprus-1 to Paxos-1 is considered “far-coordinate. Far-coordinate transactions receive settlement in ~3,300 seconds.

† Settlement time is given in averages. Block production in Quai Network is a stochastic process, meaning that real-world settlement times will have minor variance.
