# Simulations

Simulate transactions as you create

Den lets you simulate transactions as you create them, so you can easily iterate to the desired outcome. Simulations show you if a transaction succeeds, how state changes, and what event logs are emitted.

To simulate while creating a transaction, click `Simulate Transaction` in the sidebar on the right side of the page.
