If you’re interested in keeping track of your Monero funds, or just curious about the synchronization process, this guide is for you. By the end of it, you’ll know how to check whether Monero is syncing with the blockchain.
The first thing you need to do is open up your Monero wallet. If it’s not already open, launch it now. Once your wallet is open, take a look at the bottom of the window. There, you should see a green progress bar that says “Blocks left to sync: x.” The “x” in this case represents the number of blocks that still need to be downloaded before your wallet is fully synchronized.
If the progress bar is moving, that means Monero is still syncing with the blockchain. The speed of the synchronization process will depend on your internet connection and the number of other users who are also synchronizing their wallets. In general, though, the process should only take a few minutes.
Once the progress bar reaches 100%, that means your wallet is fully synchronized and you can start using it as normal. Congratulations!
