What is Block Explorer?
Before we learn how to check Bitcoin transactions, you must first understand what Block Explorer is. Block Explorer is a site that provides visualization of transaction data records, blocks, and all detailed information stored on the blockchain.
This is because large books of Bitcoin or blockchain are open ledger, so you can see all transactions and are open to the public. Block Explorer collects all transactions and visualizes them or converts them to readable data.
When sending or receiving (withdrawing / depositing), there will be about 10 minutes for the balance to successfully move to the destination wallet. This is because it takes time to confirm balance transfers within a network. To check whether the balance is sent, you can check it in Block Explorer.
What is Transaction ID?
To send or check Bitcoin transactions in Block Explorer, you need to understand what a transaction ID is.
Transaction ID / TXID is the ID code for a Bitcoin transaction. Every transaction has a different TXID. The TXID function is nothing but to be used to find detailed information on everything related to the transaction.
To deposit / withdraw Bitcoin, you need this ID. Later, you will enter the TXID for sending or receiving. This TXID also applies to checking in Block Explorer later.
To be more secure, of course, you need to use the Block Explorer method to check crypto asset shipments.
