A Complete Guide: How to Find Your Transaction ID (TxID / Transaction Hash)

TL;DR: A TxID is a unique code assigned to every blockchain transaction. You find it in your transaction history on any exchange or wallet, usually by clicking on a specific transaction and looking for "TxID", "Transaction Hash", or "Hash".

This guide is here to help you locate your Transaction ID (TxID) — no matter which platform you're using. If you're new to crypto and not sure what a TxID even is, start with the first two sections — they explain everything in plain language. If you already know what you need and just want the steps for your specific platform, jump straight to the relevant section using the Table of Contents above: exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, or Kraken are covered under Centralized Exchanges, and apps like MetaMask or Trust Wallet are under Non-Custodial Wallets. Each section follows the same simple structure — open your history, find the transaction, copy the hash — so once you've done it once, it feels the same everywhere.

What Is a TxID?

A Transaction ID (TxID) (also called a Transaction Hash or Tx Hash) — is a unique string of characters automatically assigned to every transaction that gets verified and recorded on a blockchain. Think of it as a receipt number for your crypto transfer. It looks like this:

0x4e3a2b1c7f8d6e5a9b0c3d2e1f4a5b6c7d8e9f0a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a

The format varies depending on the blockchain network, but it is always a long string of letters and numbers.

The Universal 3-Step Method How to Find TxID

Regardless of which platform you use, the logic is always the same:

Step 1 → Open Transaction History. Navigate to your wallet's or exchange's transaction/withdrawal history section.

Step 2 → Find and Click on the Transaction. Locate the specific deposit or withdrawal by date, amount, or asset.

Step 3 → Copy the TxID. Inside the transaction details, look for a field labeled TxID, Transaction Hash, Hash, or Tx Hash. Copy the full string.

⚠️ Important: Always copy the full hash. A partial hash is useless — even one missing character makes it invalid.

💡 Multi-chain tip: Trust Wallet supports many blockchains. Make sure you are viewing the correct coin/network — each network keeps its own separate transaction history.

How to Find Your TxID on Hardware Wallets

Hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor) do not show transaction history on the device itself. You access it through their companion desktop/mobile applications.

Ledger (Ledger Live)

1. Open Ledger Live on your computer or phone.
2. In the left sidebar, click [Accounts] and select the relevant account (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
3. In the account view, find the transaction in the [Operations] list.
4. Click on the transaction row to expand it.
5. Click the [View in Explorer] button — this opens the transaction in the appropriate blockchain explorer.
6. The TxID is shown at the top of the explorer page as "Transaction Hash" or "Hash".

Trezor (Trezor Suite)

1. Open Trezor Suite on your computer. Select the account you want to check.
2. In the [Transactions] tab, find the relevant transaction. Click the transaction to expand its details.
3. Click the [Explorer] or [View in Block Explorer] link.
4. The TxID (Transaction Hash) appears at the top of the block explorer page.

Fallback Method: Find TxID via Blockchain Explorer

If you cannot find the TxID on the platform but know your wallet address, you can look it up directly:

1. Go to the appropriate blockchain explorer (see table below ⬇️ ).
2. Paste your wallet address (not your TxID) into the search bar.
3. You will see a full list of all transactions associated with that address.
4. Find your transaction by date and amount. Click on it — the Transaction Hash at the top of the page is your TxID.

This method works for both finding your own TxID and verifying that a transaction was received.

What Can You Do With a TxID?

Once you have your TxID, you can use it in several practical ways.

The most common reason people look up a TxID is to check the status of a transaction — whether it is pending, confirmed, failed, or not yet broadcast to the blockchain. Paste the hash into the relevant block explorer (see the quick reference table at the bottom of this page) and you will see the current status in seconds.

A TxID also lets you verify that the transaction was sent on the correct network. Sending USDT on the wrong chain is one of the most common crypto mistakes — a block explorer confirms exactly which network the transaction actually went through.

If a transfer is delayed, disputed, or flagged by an exchange, a TxID is the reference you share with their support team. Without it, most exchanges cannot investigate a specific transaction. The same applies if you need to share proof of payment with an accountant, auditor, or business partner.

Finally, saving your TxID is simply good practice. It is your permanent proof that a transfer happened — useful for tax records, dispute resolution, or any situation where you need to demonstrate that funds were sent.

TxID vs Wallet Address vs Order ID: What Is the Difference?

These identifiers look similar and are easy to confuse, especially if you are new to crypto. Knowing which one you actually have — and which one you actually need — saves a lot of time when contacting support, tracking a transfer, or submitting information to an exchange or investigator.

A TxID (Transaction Hash) is the unique identifier of a specific on-chain transaction. Every time a transfer is broadcast to the blockchain and confirmed, it receives a hash — a long string of letters and numbers that permanently identifies that exact transaction. This is what a block explorer, a support team, or a compliance tool needs when you want to track or verify a specific transfer. If someone asks for your TxID, this is the string they want.

A wallet address is the address that sends or receives crypto — think of it as a bank account number. You can paste a wallet address into a block explorer and see all transactions associated with it, but that shows the full history of the address, not one specific transfer. A wallet address is not a substitute for a TxID when you need to reference a particular transaction.

An exchange order ID is an internal reference number generated by the exchange when you place a trade or order. It exists only inside the platform's own system and cannot be looked up in a block explorer. If your funds are still being processed internally, the exchange order ID is what their support team will use — but it has no meaning outside that platform.

A withdrawal ID is similar: it is the internal reference the exchange assigns when you submit a withdrawal request. The withdrawal ID exists before the transaction is broadcast on-chain. Once the exchange actually sends the funds, a TxID is generated. Until then, only the withdrawal ID exists. If your withdrawal is still pending and has no TxID yet, the withdrawal ID is the reference to give support.

An internal transfer ID appears when a transfer happens between two accounts on the same platform — for example, from one Coinbase account to another Coinbase account. These transfers are processed off-chain, meaning they never touch the blockchain at all. There is no TxID because there is no on-chain transaction. The internal transfer ID is the only reference that exists, and it only has meaning inside that platform.

A block explorer URL is a link to the transaction page on a blockchain explorer, such as https://etherscan.io/tx/0x4e3a.... The URL contains the TxID inside it, but the URL itself is not the TxID. When sharing with support, an accountant, or an investigator, always copy the raw hash string — not the full link. Some systems cannot parse a URL, and a partial or formatted link is not the same as the hash itself.

Why You Can't Find Your TxID

If you have searched for your TxID and come up empty, one of the following situations is almost certainly the cause. Each one has a different fix.

The Transaction Is Still Pending

When you initiate a withdrawal or transfer on an exchange, the platform processes it internally before broadcasting it to the blockchain. During this period, the TxID does not exist yet — it is only generated once the transaction is actually sent on-chain. If the TxID field shows a dash, is blank, or says "pending," the transaction has not left the platform yet. Wait a few minutes, refresh the page, and check again. On high-traffic networks like Ethereum during periods of congestion, even confirmed broadcasts can take time to appear in a block explorer.

The Transfer Was Internal or Off-Chain

If you sent crypto from one account to another account on the same platform — for example, Binance to Binance, or Coinbase to Coinbase — the transfer may have been processed entirely within the platform's internal system without ever touching the blockchain. These transfers have no on-chain TxID because no on-chain transaction occurred. The only reference that exists is the platform's internal transfer ID. If you need to trace or dispute this transfer, contact the platform's support team directly and give them the internal reference number instead.

You Copied Only Part of the Hash

A TxID is typically 64 characters for Bitcoin and 66 characters for Ethereum (including the "0x" prefix). If even one character is missing or incorrect, the hash is invalid and will return no results in a block explorer. Always copy the full string using the copy button provided by the platform — do not manually type or truncate it. If you copied from a message, email, or screenshot, double-check that nothing was cut off at the beginning or end.

You Are Using the Wrong Blockchain Explorer

Each blockchain has its own explorer. An Ethereum TxID will not appear on a Bitcoin explorer, and a Tron TxID will not appear on Etherscan. If you paste a valid TxID and get no result, the most likely explanation is that you are searching on the wrong network's explorer. Check which network the transaction was sent on — ETH, BTC, TRX, BNB, SOL, and so on — and use the corresponding explorer from the quick reference table at the bottom of this page.

You Are Looking at an Exchange Order ID, Not a TxID

Exchange order IDs, withdrawal IDs, and internal reference numbers look similar to TxIDs — they are both long strings of characters. But they are not the same thing. An order ID or withdrawal ID exists only inside the platform's system and cannot be looked up in a block explorer. If your search returns no results, check whether what you copied is actually a TxID or an internal platform reference. The TxID is usually labeled explicitly as "TxID," "Transaction Hash," or "Hash" — if the field is labeled something else, it is probably not a blockchain transaction identifier.

The Transaction Was Sent on the Wrong Network

This is one of the most stressful situations in crypto, and it is more common than it should be. If USDT was sent on TRC-20 but the receiving address expected ERC-20, or if funds were sent on BNB Chain when the recipient expected Ethereum, the transaction exists on the blockchain — but on a different network than intended. In this case, the TxID is real and findable, just on the wrong explorer. Go through each relevant network explorer and paste the TxID or the sending wallet address to find where the funds actually landed. Whether they are recoverable depends on whether the receiving platform or wallet supports that network.
