The hashing algorithm transforms transaction data into a unique 256-bit (64-digit) hexadecimal number. This number serves as a digital fingerprint for the transaction data.

The SHA-256 hashing algorithm ensures that any changes to the transaction data will result in a completely different hash. This characteristic makes it difficult to tamper with the data without detection.
