Finding Sample P2TR Transactions on Mainnet: A Step-by-Step Guide
As an Ethereum developer, you often encounter challenges while debugging or troubleshooting your scripts. One such challenge is finding the correct sample transaction identifier (txid) for a particular Payment-to-Transaction Reward (P2TR) transaction on the mainnet. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of finding these samples and provide examples to help you debug.
What are P2TR Transactions?
P2TR transactions are a special type of Ethereum transaction that rewards users with a portion of the network’s transaction fees for participating in the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism. These transactions are essential to the decentralized nature of the Ethereum network, as they allow users to receive rewards for their participation.
Where can I find examples of P2TR transactions?
To find P2TR transaction patterns on the mainnet, you should:
- Check the Ethereum blockchain explorer
: The most reliable source of information is the official Ethereum blockchain explorer [Etherscan]( You can search for transactions using keywords such as “P2TR” or “Reward”.
- Use a wallet browser designed for P2TR: Wallet browsers such as Ledger Live, MetaMask, and Truffle Suite allow you to view transaction history, including P2TR transactions.
- Search for relevant blockchain data repositories: Repositories such as Blockscout, Chainalysis, and Etherscan offer detailed information about the Ethereum blockchain.
How to find a specific P2TR txid after block 709632?
To find a specific P2TR transaction ID (txid) using Blockscout or another repository:
- Go to the repository search bar.
- Type “P2TR” in the search field.
- Filter the results by date range, blockNumber, and other relevant fields.
- Select the block you are interested in (e.g., 709632).
For example, using Blockscout:
- Find “P2TR”
- Use the advanced filter options to select the desired block (709632)
- Click on the result with the specified txid (you can copy and paste it into your script)
Troubleshooting: Can I ask for an example of the P2TR transaction ID after block 709632?
If you’re still having trouble finding the correct txid, here’s an additional question:
What do you mean by “witness_v1_keyhash”? Is this related to the Ethereum protocol or something specific to P2TR transactions?
Please provide more context or information about your script and its error message and I’ll be happy to help.
