Parameters

• proof (required): The proof of inclusion for a transaction in a block, typically a merkle branch in hexadecimal format.

Response

• result — an array of transaction IDs that were included in the proof if it is valid.
• error — an object containing an error message if an error occurred, otherwise null.
• id — an integer representing the ID of the request.

Use case

The verifytxoutproof method is useful for verifying that a particular transaction was included in a block without needing the entire block data. This is particularly useful for lightweight clients and applications that need to verify transaction inclusion efficiently.
