How to check a crypto transaction
To check a crypto transaction, copy its transaction ID (TxID, also called the hash) and paste it into the search box of a block explorer for that blockchain: Tronscan for Tron, Etherscan for Ethereum, Solscan for Solana, or a Bitcoin explorer such as mempool.space. The explorer shows whether the transfer is pending, confirmed or failed, and which address it went to.
This guide explains where to find the TxID, how to read the result, and how to confirm that a donation reached the one-time address our donate page gave you.

Find your transaction ID (TxID)
Every blockchain transfer gets a unique identifier, generated when the transaction is submitted. Wallets and exchanges call it different things: transaction ID, TxID, TxHash or just hash. On Ethereum it starts with 0x; on Tron and Bitcoin it is a long string of letters and numbers without a prefix.
Where to find it:
- In a wallet app: open the transaction in your history and look for "View on explorer" or a copy button next to the hash.
- On an exchange: go to your withdrawal history, open the withdrawal, and copy the TxID. Some exchanges show it only once the transfer has been broadcast, so it may take a few minutes to appear.
- If you can't find it, the explorer can also search by your sending address and list its recent transfers.
Which block explorer to use
A block explorer is a public website that shows real-time data on blocks, transactions and accounts. Each blockchain has its own, and a TxID only works on the explorer for the chain it was sent on:
- Tron (USDT TRC-20): Tronscan, at tronscan.org. This is the usual USDT TRC-20 transaction tracker.
- Ethereum (ETH, USDT ERC-20, and BTC sent as an ERC-20 token): Etherscan, at etherscan.io.
- Solana (USDT on Solana): Solscan, at solscan.io.
- Bitcoin: mempool.space or another Bitcoin explorer.
Getting "not found"?
The usual reason is the wrong explorer. A Tron TxID won't show on Etherscan, and an Ethereum hash won't show on Tronscan. If you're not sure which network you used, see USDT TRC-20 vs ERC-20. A transaction that has only just been sent can also take a short while to appear.
Reading the result: pending, confirmed or failed
Explorers show broadly the same fields: the status, the block the transaction was included in, the sending and receiving addresses, the amount, and the fee. The status is the part to check first.
- Pending: the network has the transaction but hasn't put it in a block yet. Wait; there's nothing to do unless it stays pending for a long time, in which case ask your wallet or exchange.
- Success or confirmed: the transfer is in a block. Different explorers use slightly different words for this, but the meaning is the same.
- Failed: the transfer didn't go through and the tokens stayed with the sender. On Ethereum the gas fee is still charged even when a transaction fails, so check you had enough of the fee coin before retrying.
Confirmations and finality
A confirmation is a block added on top of the one holding your transaction. The more there are, the harder the transaction is to undo.
On Bitcoin, new blocks are added about every 10 minutes on average, though any single block can come much sooner or later. Bitcoin.org describes six confirmations as the minimum recommendation for high-value transfers, and warns that unconfirmed transactions aren't secure. mempool.space shows the confirmation count for any transaction.
On Ethereum, a transaction moves from included to finalized as later blocks build on it; after finalization it could only be changed by a network-level attack. Explorers show how many blocks have followed yours. Tron and Solana confirm quickly and their explorers show the same kind of status.
How to check your donation reached us
Our donate page shows when your gift is detected and confirmed. To check it yourself on an explorer:
- Look up your TxID on the explorer for the network you used.
- Check the status says confirmed or success.
- Compare the recipient address on the explorer, character by character at least at the start and end, with the one-time address the donate page gave you. On a token transfer (USDT), look at the token transfer's recipient, not the contract address.
- Check the token and amount match what you meant to send.
- If anything doesn't match, or you'd like us to confirm receipt, contact us with the TxID.

How Fight for Palestine receives crypto
Each donation gets its own one-time address from our payment processor, CryptAPI, which forwards it to our wallet automatically for a 1% fee plus network fees. Our own wallet addresses aren't published on the site.
We don't publish a charity registration number, so we can't issue tax receipts. We can confirm your gift against its TxID: contact us with it.
