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.
