+## Revert Reason Format
+
+As described in the [Solidity documentation](https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/v0.5.10/control-structures.html#revert),
+the revert reason is included as an ABI-encoded string consisting of: 
+
+```
+0x08c379a0                                                         // Function selector for Error(string)
+0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020 // Data offset
+0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001a // String length

+## Dapp Support 
 
 Client libraries (eg, web3j) do not support extracting the revert reason from the transaction receipt. 
 To extract the revert reason your Dapp must interact directly with Pantheon using a custom JSON -> Object
