What Is a Transaction?
Understand sends, contract calls, status, hashes, and how to read a transaction on ICBScan.
Last updated: August 14, 2026
A transaction is a signed instruction from an account: send ICBX, call a smart contract, deploy a contract, or interact with a token. Once included in a block and confirmed by the network, it becomes part of the permanent public record.
Common fields
- Hash — unique ID used to look up the transaction
- From / To — sender and recipient (or contract)
- Value — amount of native ICBX transferred
- Status — success or failure (reverted)
- Gas used / fee — cost paid to execute
- Logs / events — data emitted by contracts (e.g. token Transfer)
Finding a transaction
Paste the transaction hash into ICBScan search, or open it from an address or block page. See our guide “Find a Transaction” for a step-by-step walkthrough.
