BITCOINCASH ยท BCH

Bitcoin Cash block explorer

Look up Bitcoin Cash addresses, transactions, and blocks - routed live to BCH Explorer.

Bitcoin Cash uses a CashAddr address format that prefixes the network identifier directly into the encoded string: a typical BCH address looks like bitcoincash:qabc... or, less commonly, the prefix can be dropped to leave just q... or p... at the start. The q prefix marks P2PKH addresses, p marks P2SH. Bitcoin Cash also still recognises legacy base58 addresses, which look identical to Bitcoin addresses. Transaction IDs are 64-character lowercase hex strings. Paste any BCH value at tx.taxi/{value} and the router classifies the CashAddr or legacy format and 302-redirects to BCH Explorer, tx.taxi's configured Bitcoin Cash explorer.

Frequently asked questions

What is CashAddr?

CashAddr is the modern Bitcoin Cash address encoding. It uses a network prefix like 'bitcoincash:' followed by a base32 payload. The first character of the payload encodes the script type: q for P2PKH, p for P2SH.

Why do some BCH addresses still look like Bitcoin addresses?

Bitcoin Cash retained backwards compatibility with the legacy base58 addresses inherited from Bitcoin at the fork. These look visually identical to BTC addresses, which is one reason CashAddr was introduced - to disambiguate the network.

Can I send BTC to a BCH address?

No. The networks are independent ledgers despite sharing history. Sending funds across the wrong network can result in loss. tx.taxi is a lookup tool only - it does not route funds, only URLs.

Where do Bitcoin Cash transaction hashes come from?

A BCH transaction ID is a 64-character lowercase hex hash, the same shape as a Bitcoin or Litecoin txid. The hash itself does not encode which chain it belongs to.
