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.
• BscScan for Binance Smart Chain.
• Use the official explorer for specific cryptocurrency.

3. Paste the TxID into the search bar.

4. View the transaction details, including:

• Status (e.g., pending, confirmed).

Why Is a TxID Important?

You may need a TxID for the following reasons:

• Transaction tracking: Confirm whether your funds were successfully sent or received.
• Support requests: Provide TxID to IMBX’s customer service team for faster issue resolution.
• Dispute resolution: Validate the transaction during disputes with third parties.

FAQs

A TxID identifies a specific transaction, while a wallet address identifies the sender or recipient of the funds.
