Short answer: XMRList has a set of free Monero tools that answer the questions people ask every week: did my transaction go through, which remote node can I use right now, what does a transaction cost, which wallet version is current, and is the explorer I rely on down? They need no account and no JavaScript for the basics, work over Tor, and get their data from our own server on a schedule, so they load fast and your browser never contacts third parties. As of 4 November 2026 a typical Monero transaction costs about 0.000044 XMR at low priority, roughly $0.03.
Check whether a Monero transaction went through
The transaction checker takes a transaction ID (TXID) from your wallet history and tells you whether it is in the mempool, how many confirmations it has, its fee and its size. Ten confirmations, about 20 minutes, is when the receiver can spend the funds.
It can also prove a payment. Monero hides the receiver and the amount, so "I sent it" is hard to show. Give the receiver the TXID, the transaction key from the sender's wallet and the receiving address, and the checker verifies the amount that address received. The key is checked by JavaScript on your own device and never sent to our server.
If the checker says "not found", the network never received the transaction. That usually means the wallet was connected to a node that dropped it; reconnect to a working node and rescan.
Find a working remote node
Most mobile and light wallets connect to someone else's node. When that node goes offline or falls behind, the wallet stalls or shows the wrong balance. The remote node list checks every public node every 10 minutes (onion nodes hourly, through Tor) and shows whether it is online and synced, its uptime over 24 hours, latency, and whether it offers HTTPS. At the time of writing, 173 of 179 clearnet nodes and 120 of 126 onion nodes were online.
A few habits help:
- Pick a node that is synced and has high 24-hour uptime, not just the fastest one.
- Prefer an onion node if you want to hide your IP address from the node operator.
- Remember that a remote node sees your IP and when you broadcast. For the most privacy, run your own node.
Developers can use the same list as JSON at /tools/nodes.json.
See what a transaction costs right now
Network and fees shows the block height, hashrate, mempool size and the fee for each priority level in XMR and in US dollars, refreshed every five minutes. On 4 November 2026 a typical two-output transaction was about 0.000044 XMR at low priority and 0.00018 XMR at normal priority. Higher priorities only help when blocks are full, which is rare, so low priority is almost always enough. Our guide to Monero fees explains how they are set. Longer-term trends are on network charts.
Know when to update your wallet or node
Releases and FCMP++ lists the latest stable and pre-release versions of 17 projects, checked twice a day: the Monero CLI and GUI, Cuprate, Feather, Cake Wallet, Stack Wallet, Monerujo, P2Pool, XMRig, Gupax, Haveno, RetoSwap, eigenwallet, BTCPay Server, MoneroPay, AcceptXMR and the WooCommerce plugin. Two flags help you decide:
- Security means the release notes mention a security fix, so updating soon is wise.
- Stale means no stable release for more than 12 months. Software that isn't updated may not survive the next network upgrade.
The page also has an FCMP++ readiness column. FCMP++ is Monero's next major privacy upgrade and needs a hard fork, so every wallet, exchange and payment plugin must update before it activates. Each project shows "No public statement" until it publishes one, and we add the source when it does. You can follow new versions by RSS at /tools/releases.xml.
Get security alerts in one place
Security advisories collects published security advisories and security releases for the same projects, once a day, with RSS. It has already picked up a critical P2Pool update and two Cake Wallet advisories. If you run a node, a P2Pool miner or a merchant plugin, subscribing to this one feed saves checking a dozen GitHub pages.
Is the service I rely on down?
Ecosystem status checks 16 services the community relies on every 15 minutes, including getmonero.org, block explorers (xmrchain.net, moneroblocks.info, Explore Monero), node lists (monero.fail, ditatompel), p2pool.observer, the Community Crowdfunding System, Haveno and Trocador, and shows their 7-day and 30-day uptime. If an explorer is down, you will know whether it's just you, and which backup to use.
Everyday payment utilities
- Payment QR builds a
monero:payment link and QR code with amount and note, in your browser. - Address checker catches typos before you send: network, type and checksum of any Monero address, checked locally.
- XMR converter converts between XMR, USD, EUR and BTC, and between XMR, millinero and piconero.
- Donation widget gives you a copy-paste donation box for your site with no scripts and no tracking.
- Atomic swap rates lists live BTC to XMR offers from eigenwallet makers.
- AML check screens Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT addresses against sanctions and stablecoin freezes before you trade them for XMR.
For miners
The mining calculator estimates profit after electricity on live difficulty and price, and shows which P2Pool chain (main, mini or nano) will pay you regularly for your hashrate. P2Pool blocks and luck shows time since each chain's last block and whether a dry spell is unusual, and pool distribution shows how many pools it would take to reach 51% of the network.
How the tools stay private
- Our server collects the live data on a schedule; pages only read the latest copy, so your browser never calls third parties.
- The browser tools (payment QR, address checker, converter, payment proof) do their work on your device.
- No accounts, no trackers, and everything works on our Tor mirror.
FAQ
Are XMRList's Monero tools free?
Yes. Every tool is free with no account, no email and no usage fee.
How do I check if my Monero transaction is confirmed?
Paste the transaction ID into the transaction checker. It shows whether the transaction is in the mempool or in a block, and how many confirmations it has. Ten confirmations means the receiver can spend it.
Is it safe to enter my transaction key?
Yes. The key is used only by JavaScript in your browser to verify the payment and is never sent to our server. Only the transaction ID is looked up.
Which remote node should I use?
Choose one the node list shows as online and synced with high 24-hour uptime. Use an onion node if you want to hide your IP from the operator, or run your own node for the most privacy.
How much does a Monero transaction cost?
Usually a fraction of a cent at low priority: about 0.000044 XMR, roughly $0.03, for a typical transaction on 4 November 2026. The network and fees page shows the current figure.
How will I know when my wallet supports FCMP++?
Check the FCMP++ column on the releases page, or subscribe to its RSS feed. Each project's status changes when it publishes a statement, and we link the source.
Can developers use this data?
Yes. Nodes, network and fees, releases, advisories and ecosystem status are all available as JSON; see the open data API page.
