Use the complete transaction hash.
Crypto Payment Verification Guide
Verify crypto payment proof against the ledger and the agreement.
A screenshot, wallet notification or transaction hash is not enough by itself. Valid payment proof must show that the expected transaction succeeded and delivered the correct asset and amount to the correct destination under the agreement’s instructions.
Start with the transaction
Use a public ledger explorer or trusted ledger data source.
Locate the transaction by its full hash and confirm it belongs to the expected network. A fabricated hash, test-network record or failed transaction does not settle the agreement.
Confirm the correct blockchain network.
Check that the record is validated.
Confirm a successful transaction result.
Match the destination
The successful payment must reach the address in the agreement.
Do not accept a transfer to another wallet merely because the sender controls it or claims it belongs to the platform. Compare the complete destination address character by character.
Use the contract’s destination address.
Inspect the full address.
Reject unrelated incoming transactions.
Investigate any address substitution.
Match value and context
Verify what arrived, not only what the sender attempted to send.
Check the delivered amount and asset. When the workflow requires a Destination Tag or memo, confirm those fields match the contract so the payment can be associated correctly.
Confirm the delivered amount.
Confirm the asset or currency.
Check the Destination Tag when required.
Match memo data to the expected agreement.
Wait for final evidence
Pending is not the same as settled.
Do not activate work from an unvalidated transaction or wallet screenshot. The contract state should depend on successful public ledger evidence rather than the sender’s interface.
Do not trust a pending indicator.
Do not use screenshots as final proof.
Wait for validated settlement.
Record the matched transaction with the contract.
Frequently asked questions
How to Verify Crypto Payment Proof
Is a crypto payment screenshot proof of payment?
No. Screenshots can be edited or unrelated; verify the transaction directly against public ledger data.
What fields should I check on a crypto payment?
Check validated status, successful result, destination, delivered amount, asset and any required tag or memo.
Does a transaction hash prove I was paid?
Only if the referenced transaction is valid and its fields match the expected payment.
Should work begin while a payment is pending?
Wait until the required transaction has successfully settled and the agreement recognizes the funding.
