Upon finding your transaction, the explorer will display a wealth of information, including the number of confirmations it has received. Confirmations are essential in Bitcoin, as they signify that the transaction has been verified and added to the blockchain, making it irreversible.

Once on the chosen website, locate the search field, which is typically prominently displayed on the homepage. This field is where you'll enter the information needed to track your transaction.

To identify your specific transaction, you'll need its unique transaction ID (TXID). This long string of characters serves as a fingerprint for every Bitcoin transaction, ensuring its authenticity and traceability.

Copy or manually type the transaction ID into the search field and hit enter. The blockchain explorer will then scan its database for the corresponding transaction details.
