A '''deposit transaction''' is created when an offer is taken—this transaction is a core element of Bisq's 2-of-2 multisignature escrow mechanism for securing trades.

== Verifying a deposit transaction ==

1. Go to the <code>Open Trades</code> or <code>Failed</code> tab and click on the <code>i</code> icon next to trade ID.

3. Search for the ID using any Bitcoin block explorer such as [https://blockstream.info/ blockstream.info]. If the <code>Deposit transaction</code> is valid you'll see the following result:
   2 outputs - the first is the deposit to the multi signature bitcoin address and the second is an <code>OP_RETURN</code> code.
