Metask: How to get user transaction without hash tx
As a DApp developer, you have probably encountered situations where your wallet provider returns errors or does not provide the Hash of Transaction. This can be frustrating and consumes time for troubleshooting. In such cases, it is essential to know how to recover the details of the user’s transaction without relying on the hash of the transaction.
In this article, we will explore the Metask Protocol to extract transactions with users without providing hash tx. We will also discuss some of the best practices and common traps to be careful.
What is a transaction?
Before you sink into metamark, let’s quickly review what is a transaction hash. A transaction hash is a unique identifier assigned to a transaction on the Ethereum blockchain. It is used by the network to check and track transactions.
Why do we have to get user transaction without Hash TX?
Without access to the hash of the transaction, we cannot directly interrogate the user’s wallet for the details of their transaction. This approach is required when the wallet supplier:
- Returns an error : The wallet provider can return a transaction that does not match the expected address or has incorrect parameters.
- does not provide a transaction hash : Your wallet may not be able to generate a unique hash tx, which makes it difficult to identify and take over the user’s transaction.
Using Metask to get User Transaction Without TX Hash
Metask is an Open-Source browser extension that provides access to multiple blockchain platforms, including Ethereum. Using Metask, you can request the details of the user transaction without relying on a specific wallet supplier.
To get the transaction of a user without their Hash TX, follow these steps:
- Launch metamark : open the web browser and browse [metamark.io] (
- Login to the Metask Wallet : Click the “wallet” icon in the upper right hand corner and select “Create a new wallet”.
- Configure the metamask wallet : Follow the configuration process to create a new wallet or connect an existing one.

- Inspect the details of the transaction : On the DApp web page, inspect the “Transaction” section and look for a “user” field or a “address” field that contains the transaction details.
Common Papcans to Avoid
When working with transactions with users without their hash TX, pay attention to the following traps:
- Incorrect formatting : Be cautious not to misinterpret the transaction details, which could lead to incorrect information.
- Metadata is missing : Some DAPPS may not provide additional metadata, such as gas prices or estimated block time, which could affect the user’s wallet and application functionality.
best practices
To ensure perfect interaction with users and maintain accurate data:
- Keep a backup of the transaction details : Store any relevant transaction details in a safe database to avoid loss of access.
- Regularize DApp metadata regularly : Make sure that any changes in the DAPP are reflected in transaction details, including estimated gas prices.
By following these steps and avoiding the common traps, you will be able to effectively take over the transactions with users without their Hash TX to use Metask. Happy Dapp development!
