You will see the main user interface of Feather Wallet. Here are two important visual items signaling your wallet's status:

  • On the lower left side, Wallet sync XXX blocks remaining: this shows how many blocks have been added to the Monero blockchain during the time your wallet was closed and offline. Feather Wallet scans these new blocks in order to detect any incoming and outgoing funds to/from your wallet.
  • On the lower right side, the updating symbol: related to the previous item, this shows you that your wallet is scanning the newer blocks. Wait for this symbol to turn into a green circle symbol.
