# Freshness

**Freshness** is RADIX Wiki's crypto-native extension of verifiability. Facts about a fast-moving ecosystem decay quickly, so a claim that was sourced correctly a year ago may now be wrong.[[1]](#ref-1) Factual pages should record when they were last checked and be re-verified against the live ledger.

## Keeping pages current

Set a *Last Verified* date when you confirm a page's facts. When information is stale, add a *May be outdated* notice banner rather than silently leaving errors in place. Where a page states an on-chain value, re-check it against a ledger explorer or the Gateway API[[2]](#ref-2) — the maintenance sweep flags pages whose prose has drifted from the chain.
