Hello, when I make a transaction, sending or receiving, is it recomended to check if it's valid on the blockchain?
How do I do it?
Running my own node helps checking it? Thank you

You really don't need to double check all the stuff going in and out of your wallet. Especially after it's confirmed - that data gets stored on the blockchain so your wallet grabs it from there anyway. Kinda pointless to keep rechecking.

But say something seems weird or you just wanna peek at the details on an independent blockchain explorer site. Those sites can get your IP address and other private stuff then pass it to who knows who and better to cover your tracks. So I'd say throw on a VPN or use Tor if you're worried about that.

It is not necessary if it is not a paper wallet. So far you have access to your wallet and you can check the transaction directly on the wallet.

If you paste the txid of the transaction on a blockchain explorer, you will see the details.

Example of explorer is https://blockchair.com

If you do not want to depend on other nodes, you have to run your own node. This can help you have privacy. This is not related to your question about transaction.

As mentioned above, you can do it with a block explorer but whatever wallet software you're currently using should give you the number of confirmations, and also link you to the block explorer directly, whenever you receive or send funds.

Yes I will recommended to verify the status of your transactions on the blockchain. It will ensure your transaction validity and completion of your transaction. You can do this task just by checking the transaction details on a any blockchain explorer

If you are running your own node then its provide more decentralized way to verify your transactions. When you run a node, you validate transactions without relying on third-party services. In node you just have to connect wallet with node and here you could check transaction here with full privacy.

As a normal user , I will recommend sample site (Blockchain.com) which is easy to check but if you have good knowledge of node then go for advance transaction checking
