On-chain citation record

One page per relied-on fact. Fill it as you read, not after. If the two explorers disagree, stop — that is a finding, not an inconvenience.

On-chain citation record

One fact per record · both explorers must have independent operators

Transaction hash / address / block hash
Chain + network — e.g. Bitcoin mainnet
Block height
Block timestamp (UTC) — cite as block time, not human action
Amount(s) in native units
Offered to prove

B — Corroboration

Explorer 1 — name · operator · URL
Date read (1)
Explorer 2 — independent operator — name · operator · URL
Date read (2)
Discrepancies — any disagreement = stop and resolve

C — Annotations (only if relied on)

Fiat value — amount · rate source · date
Label / attribution — claim · source document · its own qualifier · date

D — Exhibit handling (if exhibited)

Snapshot filenames — one per explorer view
SHA-256 at capture
