# What is a Transaction ID (TXID)?

**TXID** (Transaction ID) or **transaction hash** is a unique identifier for every operation on the blockchain. It is automatically generated and serves to recognize and verify transactions.

## :thinking: Why Do You Need TXID?

* **Verify Operation Status**\
  TXID helps you check if the transaction was successfully completed.
* **Proof of Transfer**\
  In case of disputes, TXID serves as proof of the transaction's occurrence and details.
* **Transparency**\
  Thanks to TXID, you can view all data related to a transfer on the blockchain (amount, time, sender, recipient, etc.).
* **Security**\
  Information within TXID cannot be changed because it is encrypted and recorded on the blockchain.
* **Tracking**\
  Monitor transaction progress and confirmations
* **Support**\
  Essential for customer support and troubleshooting
