Makiswap first swap records show whether a historical HECO transaction succeeded and changed the expected balances

The first check joins wallet, network and quote state

The evidence chain has four connected parts: the wallet baseline, network readiness, intended trade and on-chain result. Together, they connect the starting account and asset state to the intended trade and on-chain result. The signed transaction identifies the authorized operation, while its receipt records the execution status. Final balances then show whether that result reached the intended account.

Wallet and network readiness

Historical Makiswap instructions required a wallet configured for HECO and enough native currency for network fees. The initial record should therefore identify the account, selected network, input and output assets and both starting balances. A connected wallet alone did not establish readiness because it could still show another account or network.

Authorization and commitment records

A token-input swap could require an allowance before the swap contract could transfer the selected input. Existing allowance might remove that extra transaction. The evidence must distinguish an authorization from the exchange itself because the two operations had different effects.

The approval record

An approval let a specified contract spend tokens up to the recorded allowance. Its successful receipt proved that authorization executed, not that a swap followed. When only an approval receipt is available, the input and output token balances remain pre-swap evidence; the native balance may have decreased by the approval's network fee.

The swap commitment

Signing authorized the transaction that could exchange the selected assets. Submission sent it to the network, and a later receipt supplied its execution status and block placement. Saving that hash at submission prevented an approval receipt or unrelated wallet activity from becoming mistaken completion evidence.

A saved baseline makes every later change interpretable

An evidence-grade baseline identifies the wallet account, HECO network, selected input and output assets, starting balances and available fee currency. It also records the displayed amount, quote time and any minimum received value that the interface exposed. This snapshot gives each later change a reference point. Without it, a smaller input balance could reflect another transfer and a missing output could reflect the wrong token identity.

HECO's retirement announcement shifts this task to historical evidence

HECO announced that the network would retire on January 15, 2025. That announcement means the old Makiswap instructions do not document a current path for a new swap. Old interface text or cached pages also cannot establish current execution availability.

When an archive or compatible node exposes earlier HECO data, a transaction hash may still lead to its receipt, block and logs. Access to those records remains an evidence condition, not proof that the application or network can process another transaction.

The task is therefore limited to interpreting an earlier attempt. If the required chain record cannot be retrieved, the honest endpoint is unresolved history rather than a reconstructed success.

Network submission marks the commitment boundary

Wallet connection, quote display and signing all occurred before network submission. None changed token ownership on its own. Signing authorized a specific transaction with its destination, value and encoded call data; submission then exposed it to network execution.

A transaction hash identifies a signed transaction, but the hash alone does not prove network acceptance or completion. A pending chain record shows that a node accepted the transaction, while a receipt supplies block inclusion and execution status. If the wallet recorded two hashes, keep both and determine whether one was an approval, replacement or separate swap attempt.

Account and network identity must remain consistent across the baseline, signature and receipt. A hash from another network may describe a valid transaction there, but it does not complete the historical HECO action under review.

The receipt proves execution status within a block

An EVM receipt connects a transaction hash with a block, sender, destination, execution status, gas use and emitted logs. A successful status means the transaction executed without reverting. A failed status means the state-changing call reverted, although the sender could still pay a network fee.

Success alone does not establish that the wallet received the amount shown in an earlier quote. The receipt must belong to the expected swap transaction, and its transfers must agree with the account's balance changes. An unrelated successful call cannot close the evidence chain.

The destination also matters. Compare it with the contract identity preserved from the original transaction context. If no trustworthy record connects that destination to the intended operation, leave attribution unresolved even when the receipt reports success.

Balance deltas test what the receipt cannot show alone

Start with the input asset. Its post-transaction balance should reconcile with the amount that the successful swap consumed. Separate any other transfers during the same interval before assigning the whole decrease to one transaction.

Next, inspect the output asset for the same account. A wallet interface may omit an unfamiliar token while its on-chain balance still changed. The correct token identity matters more than a displayed symbol because different contracts can present similar names.

Network fees form a separate balance change. For a token-input swap, the native fee balance can decrease alongside the input token. When the native asset also supplied the swap input, the total decrease combines the traded amount and the execution fee, so those components require separate accounting.

Finally, compare the settled output with the signed transaction's constraints when those fields can be decoded. The earlier quote recorded intent at one moment. The chain result recorded execution later. If archive access supports state queries, balances immediately before and after the block can resolve a wallet display mismatch without relying on a refreshed interface.

A successful receipt with no output triggers one bounded mismatch check

The most useful branch starts when the receipt reports success but the expected output does not appear. Recheck the account, network and output token identity against the baseline. A wrong account or token contract explains the display gap without changing the transaction result.

If those identities match, compare the receipt logs with the expected recipient and inspect the account's on-chain token balance. A transfer to another recipient, a different asset or no attributable output leaves the attempted result inconsistent with the original task.

Stop when those checks produce no common account, asset and transaction record. Expanding the search into farming positions, liquidity deposits or unrelated wallet activity would change the question rather than reconcile the first swap.

The stop decision uses a bounded checklist

Apply the checklist once to the same saved attempt. It separates a complete record from an unresolved one without creating another transaction.

• The baseline names the same account, HECO network and asset identities.
• Approval and swap hashes, when both exist, carry separate labels.
• The swap hash has a receipt with a block and final execution status.
• Input, output and network-fee balance changes reconcile with that receipt.
• Any remaining mismatch has a recorded cause or stays explicitly unresolved.

The evidence file should preserve raw identifiers

Keep the transaction hash, wallet account, block number, receipt status, destination address and token identities as raw values. Add the saved quote, any submitted output constraint and balances from the same review interval. These fields let a later check reproduce the reasoning without trusting a wallet label.

Screenshots can preserve interface context, but they should not replace identifiers. A screen may show a shortened address, stale balance or friendly transaction label. The underlying hash and contract addresses distinguish the intended swap from approvals and unrelated transfers.

Use the transaction's block time for the historical event. The later date when someone retrieves the record describes the review, not settlement. Keeping those dates separate prevents a fresh archive lookup from making an old transaction appear recent.

A bounded endpoint is stronger than an unsupported retry

A complete first-swap record ends when the successful receipt and reconciled balance changes describe the same transaction. A failed receipt establishes that the transaction reverted, although the sender still paid its network fee. A hash without a receipt remains unconfirmed, while conflicting account or asset evidence remains unresolved.

The HECO retirement announcement leaves no documented Makiswap path for a retry. Reopening an old page does not establish current network execution, and a cached confirmation message cannot replace chain evidence.

Preserve the last supported state and the exact reason for stopping. A documented unresolved endpoint represents the record more accurately than interpreting another submission or unrelated transfer as a fix.
