What is a TxID?
A Transaction ID (TxID) is a string of alphanumeric characters that acts as a receipt or proof of a completed cryptocurrency transaction. It helps you verify:
- The status of the transaction (e.g., successful, pending, or failed).
- Details of the transaction, such as sender, recipient, amount, and timestamps.
How to Check Your TxID?
The process for locating a TxID depends on whether you are checking a deposit or a withdrawal and the platform or wallet you are using. Below are general instructions.
Checking Your TxID on the Website:
1. Click on your Assets icon located at the top-right corner
2. Navigate to the Assets tab and select Assets Overview.
3. Click Asset History in the left-hand menu.
4. The TxID is displayed in the transaction details.
How to Use a TxID on Blockchain Explorer
Once you have the TxID, you can verify your transaction on a blockchain explorer:
1. Copy the TxID from IMBX.
2. Open the appropriate blockchain explorer, such as:
- Etherscan for Ethereum.

3. Paste the TxID into the search bar.
4. View the transaction details, including:

- Dispute resolution: Validate the transaction during disputes with third parties.
