Once you [create a gateway](https://developers.cloudflare.com/web3/how-to/manage-gateways/#create-a-gateway), it can have one of several statuses.

| Status | Definition |
| - | - |
| **Active** | The DNS records for your gateway have been created and are functioning correctly. |
| **Pending** | Your Web3 gateway is in the process of becoming **Active**. |
| **Deleting** | Your Web3 gateway is being deleted. |
| **Error** | The DNS records for your gateway are misconfigured or do not exist. To fix, try [refreshing the gateway](https://developers.cloudflare.com/web3/how-to/manage-gateways/#refresh-a-gateway). |
