Observation is a method
A block explorer is a window, not an oracle. Data is presented through a particular interface, with its own labels, indexing choices, and update timing. Compare views when a detail matters.
Tralum’s articles name the type of evidence being used so a reader can distinguish a protocol fact from an interface interpretation.

Solana is a changing technical ecosystem. Read version numbers, dates, and source links as part of the meaning, not as decoration.
