- The hash identifies the transfer on TON.
- Check mainnet, both addresses, amount and asset.
- Read status, time and fees, then save the record.
Your wallet or exchange shows a transaction hash after you send or receive Toncoin. Paste that hash into a TON explorer to see the on-chain record. The explorer record is the proof of the transfer, not a wallet notification or screenshot.
Where do you find the transaction hash?
The transaction hash identifies the transfer on TON. Logical time is a number that orders transactions when several happen close together. Explorers show it next to the hash.
How do you verify the transaction step by step?
A TON explorer shows the status, transfers, time and fees for a transaction.
- 1Open a TON explorer.Paste the full hash into the search field. Check for a mainnet label; testnet records are not real payments.
- 2Match both wallet addresses.Compare the sender and receiver with your payment details. TON addresses include a checksum, so one changed character usually makes the address invalid.
- 3Check amount and asset.The amount should match what you sent or received. The asset should be Toncoin or a jetton. A jetton is a token issued on TON.
- 4Read status and fees.The status should say successful or completed. Note the timestamp and fees. A hash can exist while a transaction is pending or later fails.
What should you do after verifying?
Keep the explorer record with your payment details. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, and paying with Toncoin is usually taxable.
