Looking Up a Transaction

Transaction Lookup retrieves the details of a single on-chain transaction from its hash and explains it in plain language inside Cognivo Chat.

What It Does​

Given a transaction hash, this tool returns the key facts about that transaction:

  • Value transferred
  • From and To addresses
  • Token involved (for example ETH or an ERC-20 token)
  • Timestamp when it was confirmed on-chain
  • Status (confirmed or failed)

Cognivo presents these details as a readable summary rather than raw data.

When to Use It​

  • You have a transaction hash and want to know what it did
  • You want to confirm the amount, sender, receiver, or token of a transfer
  • You are investigating an address and want to inspect one specific transaction

What You Need​

The transaction hash - a 66-character string starting with 0x. It also helps to say which network the transaction is on if it is not Ethereum.

How to Use It​

You invoke this tool by asking in natural language inside Cognivo Chat. There are no commands to learn. For example:

Look up transaction 0x5c504ed432cb51138bcf09aa5e8a410dd4a1e204... on Ethereum

What did this transaction do? 0x...

Cognivo detects that you are asking about a transaction and returns the details automatically.

Supported Networks​

  • Ethereum
  • Base
  • BNB Chain

If you do not name a network, mention it in your message so Cognivo looks on the right chain.

What the Result Shows​

A summary of the transaction covering value, the from and to addresses, the token, the timestamp, and whether it succeeded or failed. From there you can ask follow-up questions, such as tracing where the funds went next.

Limitations​

  • You need the exact transaction hash. Cognivo cannot look up a transaction from a vague description.
  • The hash must exist on the network you are asking about. Providing the wrong network can return no result.
