What a transaction hash is and where to find yours

A transaction hash is the identifier a blockchain gives your transfer the moment it is broadcast. It is public, it is permanent, and anyone can look it up — which is exactly why support asks for it. Without one, a support case is a description of a payment; with one, it is a fact that can be checked in seconds, including by you.

Where your wallet keeps it

Every wallet has it, under a slightly different name. Open the transaction in your history and look for the long string of letters and numbers, usually with a copy button beside it.

  • Labelled TxID, Transaction ID, Transaction hash, or just Hash.
  • On an exchange, it is in the withdrawal history rather than on the trade.
  • Monero is the exception worth knowing: see the payment-proof page.

Check it yourself first

Paste it into a block explorer for the network you sent on. You will see the destination, the amount and the number of confirmations, which answers most questions before anyone else is involved — and if the destination is not the address your order gave you, you have found the problem yourself.

A hash is not a password

Sharing it is safe: it reveals a transfer that is already public and gives nobody any control over your funds. What is never safe to share is a seed phrase or a private key, and no legitimate support conversation will ever ask for either.

What to gather before writing

  • The transaction hash of your deposit, copied from your wallet or from a block explorer.
  • The asset, the network and the exact amount you sent — all three, because two of them cannot identify a transfer.
  • The order id, from the address bar of your order page.

What to do now

  1. Open your order page. It is the single place the status is true, and it updates itself.
  2. Write to support with the evidence above. A person answers within 24 hours.
  3. None of this asks you to prove who you are. If we need anything from you, it is evidence that you control the sending wallet, not identification.
