Viewing Transactions

Polygon PoS (polygonscan.com) is an EVM-compatible environment optimized for high throughput and low transaction fees while Polygon zkEVM (zkevm.polygonscan.com) is an EVM-equivalent ZK rollup designed for security.

Polygon PoS

A. Overview: The tab that displays the information that relates to the transaction.
B. Logs: The tab that displays the transaction receipt event log of the transaction.
C. Comments: The tab that displays the Disqus comment section of the block.

Overview Tab

1. Transaction Hash: TxHash for short, this is a unique 66-character identifier generated with each new transaction.
2. Status: Show the progress of the transaction: Success, Pending, or Failed.
3. Block: The precise number of the block in which your transaction was included on the blockchain.
4. Timestamp: Shows how long ago the transaction was made. Can be toggled with Date Time (UTC) to display the date and time at which the transaction was made.
5. Transaction Action: A summarized description of what's happening in the transaction.
6. Sponsored: Sponsored ads section. If you are project owner and interested in advertizing with us, do reach us at this page.
7. From: The user account (or wallet address) from where the transaction was originally sent.
8. To: The user account (or wallet address) to which a particular transaction is sent."To" indicates transfers sent to another normal or externally owned address (EOA).
9. Value: The amount of {{coin}} transferred in the transaction.
10. Transaction Fee: The sum paid in {{coin}} to a validator for processing the transaction.
11. Gas Price: The per-unit-cost specified for the transaction in {{coin}} and a sub-unit known as Gwei.

12. Gas Limit & Usage by Txn: Maximum amount of computational work in units of gas allocated for the transaction and the amount of gas actually used up for the transaction.
13. Gas Fees: Base Fee is the network base fee at the time of the block.
14. Burnt & Txn Savings Fees: Burnt fees are the total amount of {{coin}} burnt from a transaction. Transaction Savings are the total fees saved in a transaction out of the total amount the user was willing to pay.
15. Other Attributes: Other properties that includes the nonce and the position of the transaction in the block. Nonce is a transaction counter in each account, used to prevent relay attacks.
16. Input Data: Typically added in as part of contract interaction or as a message sent to the recipient.
17. More Details: By default, this section is not visible unless developer mode is chosen. You can change the setting here.
18. Private Note: A private note (up to 100 characters) can be saved and is useful for transaction tracking. Please DO NOT store any passwords or private keys here.

When interacting with a contract(s), there will be a slight differences in the overview tab.

D. Internal Txns: The tab that displays the contract calls of the transaction.

19. {{token}} Tokens Transferred: The amount of {{token}} token transferred in the transaction upon interacting with the contract.

Internal Txns Tab

20. Type Trace Address: The type of contract call that happens in the transaction.
21. From: The address where the value (in {{coin}} or {{token}} token) is transferred from in the contract call.
22. To: The address where the value (in {{coin}} or {{token}} token) is transferred to in the contract call.
23. Value: The amount of {{coin}} involved in the contract call.
24. Gas Limit: Maximum amount of gas allocated for the contract call.

Logs Tab

25. Numbers: The position of the event log inside the block.
26. Address: The smart contract that emit the log.
27. Name: The name, parameters and variables of a called function.
28. Topics: Topic 0: Part of the cyrptographic hash function for 27. Topics 1-3: Indexed parameters that can be set by developer
29. Data: Other data that is included in the transaction.

Polygon zkEVM

Clicking on the transaction hash or searching the transaction hash in {{explorer}} will bring you to the transaction details page. If you are confused about the terms "transaction hash" and "address," you may refer to our other article to learn more about Polygon zkEVM addresses.
