PolkadotJS explorer provides a hash value for every extrinsic (see marked screenshot) but the extrinsics list from block data (block.extrinsics) does not explicitly provide one. How is this value obtained?

Extrinsic hash on polkadot explorer

1 Answer 1

With polkadot{.js} API you should be able to get the extrinsic hash:

// the hash for each extrinsic in the block
signedBlock.block.extrinsics.forEach((ex, index) => {
  console.log(index, ex.hash.toHex());
});
