  • What exactly is this field for?
  • What format is the "tag" supposed to be in?
  • Does the recipient see it? Does this info survive a snapshot?

It just adds an user-defined tag to your transaction.

Format

It contains 27 trytes (=uppercase ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ and the number 9)

  • If you enter "MY9CUSTOM9TAG" the actual tag will be MY9CUSTOM9TAG99999999999999
  • If you leave the field empty, the tag will be 999999999999999999999999999
  • The recipient sees it.
  • It can be viewed in Tangle explorers (like thetangle.org)
  • It does not survive snapshots but you can still look at it in Tangle explorers that support viewing transactions before snapshots

Current usage

  • If you want to quickly find your transaction you can add a tag (e.g. BRENT9BUTLER) to your transactions and search by tag in a Tangle explorer
  • You can leave friendly messages with your transfers
