In our guides, we provide **transaction hashes** for each action, allowing you to verify and explore these actions directly on the blockchain. This guide explains **how to use these transaction hashes on explorers** for Ethereum, Optimism, and Base networks, so you can see every transaction’s details for yourself.

**What you will find in this article:**

*   Step-by-step guide on using blockchain scanners.
    
*   Important information to look for.
    

**What you need:**

*   **Transaction hash:** also called “_Tx hash_”, it’s the unique ID for each transaction on the blockchain.
    

**Step-by-Step: Verifying Transactions**

**1)Access the blockchain explorer for the relevant network:** use the appropriate explorer depending on the network where the transaction was conducted:

*   **Ethereum Mainnet:** [etherscan.io](https://etherscan.io/)
    
*   **Optimism**: [optimismtic.etherscan.io](https://optimistic.etherscan.io/)
    
*   **Base**: [basescan.org](https://basescan.org/)
    

**2)Paste the transaction hash:** copy the transaction hash provided in the article and paste it into the search bar at the top of the explorer page. Then, hit enter to view the transaction details.

**Key information on the Transaction Page**

Once you enter the transaction hash, you will see details like:

     🟢 **Transaction status**: shows if the transaction succeeded.

     🔵 **Timestamp**: date and time of the transaction.

     🟠 **From and To addresses**: indicates who sent the transaction and where it was      directed (e.g., to a DeFi protocol).

     🟣 **Tokens transferred**: details on token amounts, names, and values in USD.

     🔴 **Transaction fee**: shows the gas fee paid.

**Conclusion**

Verifying transactions hashes is a simple way to confirm the accurancy of the steps described in our articles. By cross-referencing these hashes, **you gain transparency and assuranc**e in interacting with the Ethereum, Optimism, and Base networks.
