Find the complete transaction hash
Copy the transaction ID from the sending wallet or exchange. A hash identifies a transaction record; it is not a password, private key or recovery phrase. Keep the complete value because shortened versions cannot always be searched reliably.
Choose the correct network explorer
Open a reputable explorer for the network used by the transfer. Ethereum, Bitcoin, Tron and Solana maintain separate records, so the same asset name does not tell you which explorer to use.
Read the important fields
Compare the status, sender, recipient, asset or token contract, amount, fee, block number and timestamp with your own record. On Ethereum, a receipt is available after a transaction is included, while a pending transaction may not yet have one.
Preserve the result
Save the full hash, explorer URL, network, timestamp and an unedited screenshot or export. Treat an explorer as evidence of network activity, not automatic proof of who controlled an address.
