Audit your crypto transaction before sending it to escrow. Use the 2026 Sherpa Guide to verify your TXID and avoid permanent fund loss.
To audit your transaction before an escrow send, you must perform a "Simulation Verification" of the gas limits and manually cross-reference the checksummed address against the physical settlement deed.

Why High-Value Moves Need a "Sherpa"
In 2026, an "Escrow Send" is a one-way bridge. With the implementation of IRS Form 1099-DA, the stakes for sending to the wrong hash have never been higher—you could lose $1M and still owe taxes on the "disposal." Automated tools often mischaracterize transfers as sales, triggering a CP2000 notice. A Technical Sherpa acts as your manual override, reconciling your raw wallet data with the settlement instructions to ensure the TXID is forensically sound before you hit "Sign."
The Sherpa Pre-Send Protocol
Perform a Correspondence Check: Verify the escrow agent's Tax ID (TIN) matches the IRS database for 1099-DA reporting.
Simulate the Block Inclusion: Use a forensic node to preview the transaction and detect hidden "drainer" scripts or metadata gaps.
Verify "Adjustment Code B": Ensure the transfer is tagged correctly for property acquisition to avoid a 2026 audit flag.
Execute the "Human Handshake": Confirm the recipient is live and monitoring the block explorer for your specific hash.
