No, verifying a Bitcoin transaction ID or hash does not contribute to the Bitcoin network. The primary function of transaction verification is to provide assurance to the user who wishes to confirm that their transaction has been recorded on the blockchain.
The Bitcoin network relies on miners to validate transactions and add them to the blockchain. This process involves solving complex cryptographic puzzles. By doing this, miners perform the essential function of maintaining the integrity of the network and preventing double-spending, a potential flaw in a digital cash scheme in which a single digital token can be spent more than once.
