In layman's terms, Data is a custom information function of the Ethereum network. Users can use this function to record information on the chain or call a contract. The input box now supports both hexadecimal content and plain text (any characters).
For example, there are two ways to record the phrase "imToken is a useful multi-chain wallet" on the chain:
- Enter "imToken is a useful multi-chain wallet" directly into the input box, and then send the transaction.
- Use the conversion tool to convert the phrase into hexadecimal data. The converted data is 696D546F6B656E20E698AFE5A5BDE794A8E79A84E5A49AE993BEE992B1E58C85. Then enter 0x696D546F6B656E20E698AFE5A5BDE794A8E79A84E5A49AE993BEE992B1E58C85 into the input box and send the transaction.
Notes
- Add 0x before hexadecimal data when entering it in the input box.
- If a third-party platform or contract explicitly requires a specific format, follow its requirements.
