# Trade ID

A Trade ID is the unique identification code that registers transactions on the exchange provider's side. This unique code allows verifying its status and tracking within the exchange system.

In Cake Wallet you'll find it on the `Trade Details` screen, where it is labelled simply `ID`. When you confirm a new swap, the same value is shown as `Swap ID`.

### Open your transaction history

Your recent activity appears in the `History` section at the bottom of the home screen. A swap stands out from ordinary transactions because it shows **both sides of the trade** — here, `+ 23.376036 USDC` received against `- 0.000415 BTC` sent. Tap `History` to open your full history.

### Open the swap

In your history, the swap is the entry with two currency icons and two amounts — highlighted below, between ordinary sent and received transactions. Tap it to open the `Trade Details` screen.

### Find the ID

The `ID` is on the card near the top of the screen, above the currency pair — `fb435f6af3bfa1` in this example. `Provider` names the exchange that ran the trade, and the `Track` link below opens that provider's own status page for the same trade.
