# Hash Discrepancy: Why Are They Different?

The EVM and Cosmos transaction hashes represent the same transaction but differ due to distinct data structures:

1. **EVM Transaction Hash**
   * Focuses solely on the original Ethereum-formatted transaction data.
   * Reflects the transaction’s structure and content as processed by the EVM layer.
2. **Cosmos Transaction Hash**
   * Includes the EVM transaction as part of a broader Cosmos message structure.
   * May incorporate additional metadata such as gas settings and Tendermint-specific elements.

As a result, the hashing inputs vary, leading to different hash outputs for the same underlying transaction.
