Tracking Your Transfer: How to Find Your Transaction Hash (TXID)

A Transaction Hash (also known as a TXID) is a unique string of letters and numbers that acts as a digital receipt for your crypto transfer. Think of it as a "tracking number" for the blockchain.

If you are making a manual deposit to Coinstash, providing this hash is essential for our team to verify and credit your funds.

🔐 From a Software or Hardware Wallet

e.g., MetaMask, Ledger, Trust Wallet

MetaMask

💡 Why is the TXID important?

  • Proof of Payment: It is the only way to prove a transaction has been broadcast to the network.

  • Status Tracking: You can paste a TXID into a public explorer (like Blockchain.com or Etherscan) to see if your transfer is still "Pending" or has been "Confirmed."

  • Manual Credits: For certain low-cap coins on Coinstash, our team uses the TXID to manually "hand-match" the incoming transfer to your account.

Tips for Successful Tracking

  • Use a reliable and up-to-date blockchain explorer to ensure accurate information.

  • Double-check the TXID for accuracy before entering it into the explorer.

  • Be patient if your transaction is pending; network congestion and transaction fees can affect confirmation times.

How to Track Your Cryptocurrency Withdrawal

  1. Obtain the TXID: Locate the transaction hash (TXID) from your withdrawal details. This can be found in your transaction history.

  2. Choose a Blockchain Explorer: Use a blockchain explorer that matches the cryptocurrency you are tracking. For example, use a Bitcoin explorer for BTC or an Ethereum explorer for ETH.

  3. Enter the TXID: Open the blockchain explorer and input the TXID in the search bar.

  4. View Transaction Details: Check the transaction's confirmation status, number of confirmations, and other details provided by the explorer.- Tracking Transactions: Use blockchain explorers to monitor the status of your transaction. Enter the TXID into a blockchain explorer corresponding to the cryptocurrency you are using (e.g., Etherscan for Ethereum, Blockchain.com for Bitcoin) to view details such as confirmation status and number of confirmations.
