A blockchain transaction hash is a unique identifier that is generated when a transaction is created on the blockchain. It is a string of letters and numbers that is created by applying a cryptographic hash function to the transaction details. This hash serves as a 'receipt' for the transaction and can be used to track and verify the transaction on the blockchain.

To check a blockchain transaction hash, you can use a blockchain explorer. A blockchain explorer is a web application that allows users to search and retrieve information about individual blocks, transactions, and addresses on a blockchain.

To check a transaction hash:

  1. Find the Tx hash in your Web3 wallet.

  2. Go to a blockchain explorer that supports the blockchain of the transaction you are interested in. For example, for Ethereum transactions, you can use etherscan.io.

  3. In the search bar of the blockchain explorer, enter the transaction hash and click 'Search' or 'Enter'.

  4. The explorer will then display the details of the transaction, such as the amount, the sender and receiver addresses, the transaction fee, and the number of confirmations.

Most wallets can open a block explorer right from the wallet app.

Remember to use a reliable and trusted blockchain explorer for the blockchain network you are using. Primex Mainnet Beta works on Polygon so you should use Polygonscan to view your transaction history.
