Transaction Hash (TXID): Meaning, TXID Check and How to Find It

Quick answer

• What is a transaction hash: a unique 64–88 character string the blockchain assigns to every crypto transfer.

• Where to verify: any public block explorer (Etherscan, Tronscan, Blockchain.com) — no wallet access required.

• What it reveals: status, amount, sender and recipient addresses, timestamp, and fee.

• Why exchanges ask for it: support uses the TXID to instantly match your payment to the order and release the output without delay.

Transaction hash and TXID are interchangeable terms used by wallets, exchanges, and crypto platforms. Without a TXID you cannot prove that funds were actually sent, which is why support teams always ask for it whenever a withdrawal or swap goes wrong.

TXID Check: How to Check a Transaction Hash in 3 Steps

A TXID check (also called a tx hash check) takes under a minute and needs no wallet access — only the hash itself.

1. Identify the network by the hash format. Use the table below. If the hash starts with 0x, it belongs to an EVM network (Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum) — the wallet or exchange that gave you the hash tells you which one.

2. Paste the full hash into that network's block explorer — into the search box on the explorer's home page.

3. Read the result: status (Success, Pending or Failed), number of confirmations, amount, sender and recipient addresses. For tokens such as USDT, the amount is in the token-transfer section, not in the main Value field.

How to check a USDT TXID: USDT exists on several networks, so first confirm which one was used for the transfer — TRC20 → Tronscan, ERC20 → Etherscan, BEP20 → BscScan. A TRC20 hash will never be found on Etherscan and vice versa; this is the most common reason for a "transaction not found" result.

Transaction Hash in Plain English

Every time you send USDT, Bitcoin, or Ether, the network generates a «passport» for that operation — a long hexadecimal string. This is the transaction hash. It is created the moment your transaction is signed by your private key and is recorded inside a block forever.

The hash is the output of a cryptographic function: SHA-256 for Bitcoin, Keccak-256 for Ethereum. Any input data produces a fixed-length string: 64 characters for Bitcoin and Tron, 66 for Ethereum/BSC (including the 0x prefix); for USDT the length depends on which network the token was transferred on. Changing even a single symbol in the transaction would change the entire hash — this is what makes the blockchain tamper-proof.

• Bitcoin: 6dcd4ce23d88e2ee9568ba546c007c63d9131c1ae7afdf8d6c2cf52b8a5b8a5e

• Ethereum / USDT ERC20: 0xa1b2c3d4e5f6… (always starts with 0x)

• Tron / USDT TRC20: a1b2c3d4… (no prefix, 64 characters)

Is Transaction Hash the Same as TXID?

Yes. Transaction Hash, TXID, TX Hash, Transaction ID — all refer to the same thing. Different platforms use different labels:

• Binance — TxID

• OKX — Transaction ID / Hash

• Bybit — TxID

• Trust Wallet — Transaction Hash

• MetaMask — Transaction Hash

• Etherscan — Txn Hash

• Tronscan — Hash

• Bitcoin Core — TXID

Don't confuse a transaction hash with a block hash — these are different things. A block contains hundreds of transactions; the block has its own hash, and each transaction inside has a separate one.

What a Transaction Hash Looks Like

• Bitcoin (BTC): 64 chars, no prefix. Example: 6dcd4ce2...

• Ethereum (ETH, USDT-ERC20): 66 chars, 0x prefix. Example: 0xa1b2c3...

• Tron (USDT-TRC20): 64 chars, no prefix. Example: a1b2c3d4...

• BNB Smart Chain: 66 chars, 0x prefix. Example: 0xa1b2c3...

• Solana: 87–88 chars (typical), no prefix, base58 format

• TON: 64 chars, no prefix, base64 format

How to Find a Transaction Hash in Your Wallet

How to Find the Transaction Hash in Trust Wallet

Trust Wallet calls it Transaction Hash. The quickest way:

1. Open the app → History

2. Tap the transaction you need

3. Scroll to Transaction Hash (or TX Hash)

4. Tap the icon to copy

5. If the hash field is not shown, tap More Details (in older versions — View on Block Explorer): the explorer page opens with the full hash at the top and in the address bar

MetaMask

1. Click the extension icon or open the mobile app

2. Go to Activity

3. Select the transaction

4. Click «View on Etherscan» — the URL after /tx/ is your hash

5. Desktop version: «Copy Transaction ID»

Binance / OKX / Bybit

After a withdrawal:

1. Wallet → Transaction History (or Wallet → Withdrawal)

2. Find the right withdrawal

3. Click it — the TxID field appears

4. Copy button is right beside it

5. If the field is empty — the transaction has not yet been broadcast (the exchange holds it until processed)

Coinbase and Crypto.com

Open the transaction in your history and look for Transaction hash (Crypto.com: TxHash). In the Coinbase app, the View transaction / View on block explorer link opens the explorer page containing the hash. Internal transfers between two accounts of the same exchange are often off-chain and have no TXID at all.

On the Exchange After a Deposit

Deposit hash is also stored:

• Binance: Wallet → Deposit & Withdrawal History → click amount → TxID

• OKX: Assets → Funding → Deposit

• Bybit: Assets → Funding Account → Deposit Records

How to Verify a Transaction in a Block Explorer

A block explorer is a public website that reads data straight from the blockchain. You can check any transaction without access to the sender's wallet.

Common but not universal URL pattern: https://[explorer]/tx/[YOUR_HASH] — Tronscan and blockchain.com use their own formats (see below).

Bitcoin → Blockchain.com / Mempool.space

• https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/[hash]

• https://mempool.space/tx/[hash] — advanced mempool analytics

You'll see: amount, fee, number of confirmations (1 = in a block, 6 = final), time.

Ethereum / USDT ERC20 → Etherscan

• https://etherscan.io/tx/[hash]

For USDT on Ethereum the amount appears under ERC-20 Token Transfers — not in the main Value field (which shows 0 ETH; that's normal). For more on USDT regulation across regions see USDT in the EU.

USDT TRC20 → Tronscan

• https://tronscan.org/#/transaction/[hash]

Amount under TRC20 Tokens Transferred. Tron finalizes a transaction after 19 super-representative confirmations (~1 minute); individual exchanges and swap services may use different thresholds.

BNB Smart Chain → BscScan

• https://bscscan.com/tx/[hash]

Same UI logic as Etherscan.

Other Networks

• Solana — solscan.io, solana.fm

• TON — tonviewer.com, tonscan.org

• Polygon — polygonscan.com

• Arbitrum — arbiscan.io

• Avalanche — snowtrace.io

Why Exchanges Ask for Your Transaction Hash

Many exchanges and swap services ask for the TXID after you pay — in the order form or in a support chat. Two reasons:

1. Payment confirmation. Without the hash, the exchange cannot match thousands of daily incoming transfers to your specific order. Manual lookup takes hours. It's also part of the standard AML compliance flow — the operator must confirm the source and fact of the transfer.

2. Faster processing. With a TXID an operator verifies the status in the explorer in seconds and releases the output. Without it your order waits for automated matching.

How it works on hellchange.top. Your deposit is detected automatically and the order page shows the status as confirmations arrive — you don't need to send the TXID in a normal swap. If a payment looks stuck, send the hash to the support chat: the operator finds it in seconds instead of searching manually. When the swap is complete, the order page shows the TXID of our payout, so you can check it in an explorer yourself.

The exchange will check confirmations itself — don't wait for them before sending the TXID.

What to Do if a Transaction Is Stuck

If the explorer shows 0 confirmations for over an hour, the transaction is stuck in the mempool purgatory. Causes and fixes:

• Low fee (Bitcoin, Ethereum). Networks prioritize higher-fee transactions. Options: wait (it will eventually confirm or drop from mempool after 14 days); Replace-By-Fee (RBF) — rebroadcast the same transaction with a higher fee, but only if the wallet originally flagged it as RBF-replaceable; Child-Pays-For-Parent (CPFP) — broadcast a new transaction that spends the unconfirmed output of the original at a very high fee, making the pair attractive to miners. More on fees in why mining in Russia is getting expensive.

• Tron / BSC. Stuck transactions are rare; usually caused by lack of energy/bandwidth (Tron) or gas (BSC). Top them up.

• Exchange withdrawal delay. The TX is not yet in mempool — contact the exchange's support with your TXID (they have it but haven't broadcast yet). Similar case study: Garantex and frozen USDT.

• Double-sending. Never resend a «copy» — it creates two conflicting transfers that lock funds until auto-resolution.

Common Mistakes When Looking for a TXID

• Confusing it with a wallet address. Address = where funds went (bc1q..., 0x..., T...); TXID = the transfer's identifier. Different things.

• Copying a shortened hash. Wallet UIs show 0xa1b2...c3d4. You need the full 64–66 chars. Use the Copy button.

• Looking for the TXID before broadcast. The hash appears only after the transaction is broadcast. If your wallet shows Pending, the TXID already exists — open the details.

• Wrong network. USDT exists on TRC20, ERC20, BEP20, Solana, etc. A TXID from ERC20 won't be found on Tronscan and vice versa.

• Missing the USDT amount on Etherscan. Main screen shows Value: 0 ETH — normal. Scroll to Tokens Transferred.

FAQ

What is a TXID check? Looking up a transaction hash in a block explorer to see whether the transfer succeeded, how many confirmations it has and where the funds went. See the 3-step guide at the top of this page.

What is TxHash? Another name for the transaction hash (TXID). Etherscan labels it "Txn Hash", Crypto.com "TxHash" — it is the same identifier.

What is a transaction hash? A unique identifier for a blockchain transfer — a 64–88 character string. Anyone can use it to look up the transaction on a block explorer.

Are TXID and transaction hash the same? Yes. TX Hash, Transaction ID, TXID — all synonyms.

How do I find a transaction hash in Trust Wallet? History → tap transaction → Transaction Hash field. The View on Explorer button opens the page containing the full hash.

How do I find my TXID on Binance? Wallet → Transaction History → click the transaction → TxID field. Available once the network broadcasts it.

How long is a transaction hash? 64 characters for Bitcoin and Tron, 66 (with 0x prefix) for Ethereum/BSC, 87–88 for Solana.

Can I cancel a transaction using the TXID? No. A broadcast transaction cannot be cancelled. The TXID only lets you check the status (or speed it up via RBF/CPFP if it isn't yet confirmed).

Does a transaction hash reveal my personal data? No. The blockchain shows addresses, amounts, and timestamps — but no names. Privacy holds as long as you didn't publish your address publicly — see also crypto mixers and the legal status of crypto. On Monero, amounts and addresses are hidden by default — see how to swap BTC to XMR without KYC.

My hash isn't found in the explorer — what now? Check the network (USDT TRC20 vs ERC20), make sure the hash was copied without spaces, wait 1–2 minutes after broadcast.

How do I find a transaction hash in MetaMask? Activity → select transaction → View on Etherscan → the part of the URL after /tx/ is the hash.

Can I send the transaction hash instead of doing the transaction? No. The hash is only a reference. To move funds you must broadcast a real transaction from your wallet.

Why does an exchange need my TXID? To match your specific deposit among thousands and release the output without delay.

Is the transaction hash the same for sender and receiver? Yes. Each transaction has one shared TXID, visible to both parties.

What does «0 confirmations» mean? The transaction has been broadcast but not yet included in a block. Most exchanges wait for 1–6 confirmations depending on the network and amount.
