A hash is the result of a hash function, which is a cryptographic operation that generates unique and unrepeatable identifiers from given information. Hashes are a key component in blockchain technology and have broad utility. In summary, the hash or Txid is the identification code for a blockchain transaction. You'll find all the information about hashes and how they work in the following Bit2Me Academy article: What is a hash?
When you send cryptocurrencies, a hash is generated that allows you to track the status of a transaction on the blockchain until it reaches its destination address.
To access the hash / Txid of a blockchain send transaction you've made from Bit2Me, you just need to click on the send operation shown in the currency's activity history to view all the transaction details. To do this, follow these steps:
- Go to the "activity history" section which you'll find in the side dropdown menu if you're accessing from the App. If you're accessing from the website, go to the Wallet section and then to "activity history" in the right column.
- In the history, find the send operation you want to check the hash / Txid for. You can filter by date, currency, or year to locate the transaction more easily.
- Once you've located the blockchain send operation for which you want to find the hash, click on the recorded transaction to expand the operation details.
- In the operation details view, you'll find the hash / Txid which you can copy to share or paste into the explorer of the network you used for the send.
Some of the most used explorers to check the status of an operation on the most common networks are:
- For the Bitcoin network: https://blockstream.info/
- For the Ethereum (ERC20) network: https://etherscan.io/
- For the Polygon network: https://polygonscan.com/
