# 07 - hashSequence The hashSequence field is the hash of the concatenation of the nSequence values of all inputs being signed. The make-up of the Hash of nSequence is dependent on whether `SIGHASH_ANYONECANPAY` flag is used. If `SIGHASH_ANYONECANPAY` is **NOT** used, the hash value is a SHA256 hash of a concatenated list of the sequence number of each of the transaction's inputs. If `SIGHASH_ANYONECANPAY` is used, the value is a 32 byte null string.

#### Example: Check all sequence values are final In this example, the script checks that two inputs are used, and that the input is final. To perform the check, the hash of sequence will be split from `r_tx_preimg` and tested against a hash of the expected value. It is assumed that `version` and `hash_prevouts` have both been removed from `r_tx_preimage`.

Stack	Script	Description
<r_tx_preimg>	...	nVersion field and hashPrevouts have been removed
<r_tx_preimg>	0x20	add hash_nSequence length to the stack
<r_tx_preimg> 0x20	OP_SPLIT	Split hash_nSequence from pre-image
<hash_nSequence> <rr_tx_preimg>	OP_SWAP	Swap hash_nSequence to front
<rr_tx_preimg> <hash_nSequence>	0xffffffffffffffff	Expected sequence value if two final inputs are used
<rr_tx_preimg> <hash_nSequence> 0xffffffffffffffff	OP_SHA256	Hash sequence value
<rr_tx_preimg> <hash_nSequence> <sha256_ffffffff>	OP_EQUALVERIFY	Check it is equal - fail if not
<rr_tx_preimg>	...	rest of script

This gives us a useful tool for managing closure of payment channels, providing an optimal processing path for channels submitted with fully final inputs. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
