Reading transaction data

You can use the ZKsync CLI to fetch and display detailed information for a transaction. It can be used to check the status, amounts transferred, fees, method signatures, and arguments of transactions.

zksync-cli transaction info

If you do not pass in any options to the command, the CLI prompts you to select the chain and transaction hash.

? Chain to use ZKsync Sepolia Testnet
? Transaction hash 0x7f82dbf93281930ee01644d01a84b3f13df51d0082370298d353982f008f09e1

The CLI returns the transaction data along with the method arguments and additional details.

--abi

When ZKsync CLI reads a transaction that includes interaction with a smart contract's method, it first tries to fetch contract verification data from the server. If the contract is not verified, the CLI queries the open signature database to get the signature of the transaction method. If the CLI fails to find a matching method signature, the transaction data will be displayed as a hex string.

You can manually pass the contract ABI data manually using the --abi option to decode the transaction's input data.

zksync-cli transaction info --abi "./Greeter.json"

--full

The --full option will include additional details of the transaction which include the transaction status on L1.

To see an example of the full data you receive with the --full option:

zksync-cli transaction info \
--chain "zksync-sepolia" \
--transaction "0x6fe7bcdbef11776095c7dd4283a54f51e60c0fe7cfc784fa52b9dcb8f2270f9f" \
--full

--raw

The --raw option returns the transaction data as a raw JSON response.

To see an example of the raw JSON data:

zksync-cli transaction info \
--chain "zksync-sepolia" \
--transaction "0x6fe7bcdbef11776095c7dd4283a54f51e60c0fe7cfc784fa52b9dcb8f2270f9f" \
