Your TxID Is Your Deposit's "Tracking Number"
Every blockchain transfer has a unique identifier called a TxID (Transaction ID), also known as a transaction hash. Just like a package tracking number, it lets you follow a transaction's entire journey from initiation to confirmation.
When you deposit to Binance — whether from another exchange or a wallet — a TxID is generated. Learning to use TxIDs is a fundamental skill every crypto user should master.
How to Find Your TxID
From Another Exchange
Log in to the sending exchange (e.g., OKX, Huobi), find the withdrawal record, and copy the TxID link that appears after the status shows "Completed."
From a Wallet
Open your wallet app (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, TokenPocket, etc.), find the transfer in your transaction history, and tap for the Transaction Hash.
In Binance's Deposit History
If Binance has detected your deposit, the TxID also appears in Binance's "Deposit History." If Binance hasn't detected it yet, you can only get it from the sender.

How to Search and Read Results
Open the appropriate explorer, paste your TxID in the search bar, and review the key fields:
- Status: Success (confirmed), Pending (waiting), or Failed
- Confirmations: Compare with Binance's minimum requirement (TRC20: 1, BEP20: 15, ERC20: 12, BTC: 2)
- To: Verify this matches your Binance deposit address
- Value/Amount: Confirm the amount is correct
- Transaction Fee: The miner/gas fee paid

How to Judge Whether Your Deposit Should Have Arrived
On-chain Pending: Transaction waiting to be packaged. Only option is to wait.
On-chain Success, insufficient confirmations: Normal — wait for more confirmations.
On-chain Success, sufficient confirmations, Binance not credited: Possible system delay, wallet maintenance, or network mismatch. Contact Binance support.
On-chain Failed: Transaction failed (often due to insufficient gas). Funds usually return to sender. Reinitiate the deposit.
Practical Tips
- Bookmark commonly used blockchain explorers to avoid phishing sites
- You can also search by wallet address to find all related transactions
- Blockchain explorer times are usually in UTC (8 hours behind Beijing time)
- Save every TxID — even after successful deposits, they serve as proof for any future disputes
FAQ
Can I show my TxID to others?
Yes. TxID is public information that anyone can look up. Sharing it doesn't compromise your fund security — just don't share passwords or private keys.
Are blockchain explorers free?
Yes, all major blockchain explorers are free public services requiring no registration.
Why can't I find results for my TxID?
Possible reasons: wrong blockchain explorer for your network, TxID copied incompletely, or the transaction was just sent and hasn't been indexed yet (usually seconds to minutes).
Security Tips
Always use official blockchain explorer websites. Search engine results may include phishing sites disguised as explorers. Never enter your wallet private key or seed phrase on any website — explorers only need a TxID or address to query.
