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] Factual pages should record when they were last checked and be re-verified against the live ledger.

How verification is recorded

Every page carries a Last Verified stamp, set when an editor or the maintenance sweep re-checks its facts against sources and the live ledger. The stamp is separate from the last edit: fixing a typo does not re-verify a page, and confirming that a page is still correct does not require changing a word of it.

A page whose last verification – or, if it has never been verified, its last edit – is more than 180 days old is treated as stale and renders a May be outdated notice automatically, until someone re-checks it. The notice is generated, not placed by hand, so no page can go a year unexamined without saying so to readers.

Where a page states an on-chain value, re-check it against a ledger explorer or the Gateway API^[2] – the ledger is the authority, and published documentation about it can itself be out of date. The rotating audit that does this across the wiki records each pass in the wiki maintenance log.
