# Quickstart

> Decode your first failed transaction in under 60 seconds.

Follow these steps to diagnose a failed Soroban transaction using the Prism CLI.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Identify a failed transaction">
    Find a transaction hash (`tx_hash`) that failed with a cryptic error like `Error(Contract, #3)`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the decode command">
    <CodeGroup>
      ```bash Terminal theme={null}
      prism decode abc123def456... --network testnet
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the diagnostic report">
    Prism will resolve the error and provide a clear explanation.

    ```text theme={null}
    Diagnostic Report:
    ------------------
    Error: InsufficientBalance (resolved from #3)
    Contract: CD...123 (MyTokenContract)
    Reason: The sender does not have enough XLM to complete the transfer.
    Suggested Fix: Ensure the account has at least 10 XLM before retrying.
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>
