Common wallet errors

account doesn't exist error from tzkt.io

If your account on tzkt.io shows this, don't worry. It just means you don't have any transactions yet in your wallet. Once you receive some tezos it should go away.

Prevalidation error in the temple wallet

This means you should refresh the page. Wait a couple of seconds for the transaction to go through and you will get the "applied" status.
