    To check if SegWit is activated for a specific cryptocurrency, you can use a block explorer. Simply enter the cryptocurrency's address or transaction ID into the block explorer's search bar, and it will display information about the transaction, including whether SegWit was used. Some popular block explorers that support SegWit include Blockchair, Blockstream, and Blockchain.com.

    If you're using a wallet to store your cryptocurrency, you can check if SegWit is activated by looking for SegWit addresses in your wallet. SegWit addresses start with a '3' instead of a '1' for non-SegWit addresses. If your wallet supports SegWit, it should provide an option to generate SegWit addresses.
