In brief
Verification pages define which observations support which claim and what still needs source review.
What this page explains#
Verification pages define which observations support which claim and what still needs source review. This page sits in Testnets And Production Readiness. It gives the topic a plain-language handle first, then shows the working idea, the mechanism, the source trail, and any limits that still matter. This category treats readiness as evidence discipline. Testnet success, explorer observations, wallet signing, release checks, and production review each answer different questions and must not be substituted for each other.
The writing follows a simple Kaspa documentation pattern: answer the practical question first, then link outward for details. The closest public sources for this page are RK-VIRTUAL-PIPELINE, RK-RPC-API, RK-RPC-TX, RK-UTXOINDEX, RK-INDEXES. Local notes can help choose what to explain, but public-facing references resolve to upstream websites, repositories, papers, release pages, or docs.
How to think about it#
The practical model starts by naming the layer that owns the topic: wallet use, node operation, consensus, transaction validation, Toccata script behavior, tooling, or research. From there, the page shows which public source can support the explanation and where the explanation becomes incomplete.
For Verification And Evidence, the model is built around these anchors: local logs are operational observations; RPC and API responses are observations; accepted transactions, UTXO diffs, and indexed UTXO evidence are stronger app evidence when timestamped; source and release checks settle protocol wording; timestamps and source IDs make evidence reusable. This model is useful, but it does not encode every constant, branch, error type, or edge case. Those details belong in the source path and the source notes.
How it works#
1. local logs are operational observations. Readiness pages are evidence gates. A testnet result is useful only with network name, date, release or branch, node/wallet/tool versions, and accepted evidence. Release notes and source paths support stronger claims; old testnet observations remain historical unless refreshed.
2. RPC and API responses are observations. Faucets, explorers, and hosted APIs are volatile service surfaces. They can provide timestamped observations, but they do not define consensus behavior. The page records retrieval date, endpoint, network, response shape, and the source path that backs any stronger protocol claim.
3. accepted transactions, UTXO diffs, and indexed UTXO evidence are stronger app evidence when timestamped. Readiness pages are evidence gates. A testnet result is useful only with network name, date, release or branch, node/wallet/tool versions, and accepted evidence. Release notes and source paths support stronger claims; old testnet observations remain historical unless refreshed.
4. source and release checks settle protocol wording. Readiness pages are evidence gates. A testnet result is useful only with network name, date, release or branch, node/wallet/tool versions, and accepted evidence. Release notes and source paths support stronger claims; old testnet observations remain historical unless refreshed.
5. timestamps and source IDs make evidence reusable. Readiness pages are evidence gates. A testnet result is useful only with network name, date, release or branch, node/wallet/tool versions, and accepted evidence. Release notes and source paths support stronger claims; old testnet observations remain historical unless refreshed.
This mechanism section treats readiness as dated evidence: network, release, branch or commit, tool version, observation, and accepted/rejected result are all part of the claim.
How to check it#
| Step | Check | Evidence gate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check local logs are operational observations. | Use RK-VIRTUAL-PIPELINE, RK-RPC-API, RK-RPC-TX; add date, network, release or commit, tool version, and accepted/rejected evidence. |
| 2 | Check RPC and API responses are observations. | Use RK-VIRTUAL-PIPELINE, RK-RPC-API, RK-RPC-TX; add date, network, release or commit, tool version, and accepted/rejected evidence. |
| 3 | Check accepted transactions, UTXO diffs, and indexed UTXO evidence are stronger app evidence when timestamped. | Use RK-VIRTUAL-PIPELINE, RK-RPC-API, RK-RPC-TX; add date, network, release or commit, tool version, and accepted/rejected evidence. |
| 4 | Check source and release checks settle protocol wording. | Use RK-VIRTUAL-PIPELINE, RK-RPC-API, RK-RPC-TX; add date, network, release or commit, tool version, and accepted/rejected evidence. |
| 5 | Check timestamps and source IDs make evidence reusable. | Use RK-VIRTUAL-PIPELINE, RK-RPC-API, RK-RPC-TX; add date, network, release or commit, tool version, and accepted/rejected evidence. |
When using this page for readiness, record the date, network, release or commit, tool versions, endpoint or explorer observation, and accepted or rejected result. Testnet success, local logs, and live API observations remain scoped evidence until release and source checks support broader wording.
