Get Transfer Status
Track the execution status of a transfer by quoteId.
GET /rfq/v1/statusReturns the current status of a transfer, identified by the quoteId returned from POST /rfq/v1/quote.
The response uses a normalized state that is the same across all backends, plus a backend-specific details object for additional context.
Request
| Query Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
quoteId | string | Always | The identifier returned with a quote from POST /rfq/v1/quote. It identifies the specific quote and its backend. |
Execute one quote per source transaction. Bundling multiple quotes into a single transaction is not supported yet.

}| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
quoteId | string | The quote this transfer was executed from, when known |
state | string | Normalized transfer state. See States. |
backend | object | The execution route serving the transfer (Backend) |
source | object | null | Source-chain execution: chain, txHash, messageId, timestamp. Null until the source transaction is observed. |
destination | object | null | Destination-chain delivery: chain, txHash, timestamp. Null until delivered. |
output | object | null | What the recipient actually received: chain, token, amount. Populated on DONE. |
refund | object | null | The refund returned to the user on the source chain: chain, token, amount, txHash. Populated only once the source-chain refund transaction is observed — it is null through REFUND_PENDING and REFUND_INITIATED, and populated on REFUNDED. |
details | object | Backend-specific status context. Shape depends on backend.type; treat as informational. |
States
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
AWAITING_DEPOSIT | The quote is known, no source-chain execution has been matched to it yet, and its deposit window is still open |
PENDING | The transfer has been submitted and is in flight |
DONE | The transfer completed and the recipient received the output |
REFUND_PENDING | The transfer will not be fulfilled and a refund has been decided, but no refund transaction has been submitted yet (refund is null) |
REFUND_INITIATED | The refund has been submitted, but the source-chain refund transaction has not been observed yet (refund is still null) |
REFUNDED | The refund landed on the source chain and the user has their funds back (refund populated) |
FAILED | The transfer reached a terminal failure |
NOT_FOUND | No transfer matches the supplied identifier, or the quote's deposit window closed with no deposit |
NOT_FOUND is returned with HTTP 200: a well-formed lookup for an identifier the API does not (yet) recognize is not an error.
A refund advances REFUND_PENDING (decided), REFUND_INITIATED (submitted), REFUNDED (landed on the source chain). Only REFUNDED is terminal: it is the single state that confirms the user has their funds back, and the only one where refund is populated. Do not treat REFUND_INITIATED as settlement.
Not every backend reports the full sequence yet. A route that cannot observe the source-chain refund transaction stops at REFUND_INITIATED and never reaches REFUNDED, so a client must not block on REFUNDED to consider a transfer resolved.
The response above shows a DONE transfer. The examples below show earlier states, where source, destination, and output are progressively filled in as the transfer advances.
AWAITING_DEPOSIT
The quote is known but no source-chain transaction has been observed yet.
{
"quoteId": "quote_123",
"state": "AWAITING_DEPOSIT",
"backend": {
"type": "intent",
"name": "Axelar Intents"
},
"source": null,
"destination": null,
"output": null,
"refund": null,
"details": {}
}PENDING
The source transaction has landed and the transfer is in flight; the destination has not been delivered yet.
{
"quoteId": "quote_123",
"state": "PENDING",
"backend": {
"type": "intent",
"name": "Axelar Intents"
},
"source": {
"chain": "eip155:42161",
"txHash": "0xabc...",
"messageId": "0xabc...-0",
"timestamp": "2026-06-16T12:00:03Z"
},
"destination": null,
"output": null,
"refund": null,
"details": {}
}REFUND_INITIATED
The transfer will not be fulfilled and the refund has been submitted. destination and output stay null. refund is filled in when the source-chain refund transaction is observed, at which point the state becomes REFUNDED.
{
"quoteId": "quote_123",
"state": "REFUND_INITIATED",
"backend": {
"type": "intent",
"name": "Axelar Intents"
},
"source": {
