# TXID

## Definition

TXID is a common abbreviation for transaction ID, especially in Bitcoin, and identifies a transaction by the hash of its serialized transaction data under the network's rules.

## What it means in practice

A Bitcoin TXID can be searched in an explorer to inspect inputs, outputs, fee and confirmation state.

## How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

For a Bitcoin transfer made through Terenval, the TXID is the appropriate public reference for checking network status.

**Important:** Do not confuse a TXID with a secret credential; it identifies public transaction data, not control of the wallet.
