Frequently asked questions
Can I look up a Monero address on an explorer?
No. Monero transactions never show the receiving address on the blockchain, so no explorer can list an address's payments or balance. Only the wallet holding the view key can see them.
How do I prove I sent a Monero payment?
In the sending wallet, open the transaction and copy its transaction key (tx key). Give the receiver the transaction ID, the tx key and their address; their wallet, or the CLI command check_tx_key, confirms the amount received.
How long does a Monero transaction take?
It usually enters a block within about 2 minutes. Received funds unlock after 10 blocks, about 20 minutes.
Where do I find my transaction ID?
In your wallet history, open the transaction: the ID (also called hash or TXID) is a 64-character string. When you swap on GhostSwap, the order page shows the payout transaction ID.
