In the blockchain field, we often witness scenarios like this: after a large-scale liquidation of a certain protocol, disputes immediately erupt on social media. Opinions vary from all sides: some believe the price is reasonable, some question the authenticity of the data, market makers claim sufficient liquidity, the liquidation executors state they are just following the rules, while users feel their interests have been harmed. In this dispute, everyone insists on their own views, but lacks the most critical element - verifiable objective evidence.

If we can elevate these disputes from the level of public relations and emotions to the heights of engineering and facts, the entire product ecosystem will become more rational and peaceful. This is precisely the core principle advocated by OpenLedger: any significant conclusion must be accompanied by a set of reproducible, verifiable, and interpretable evidence packages; any key indicators should yield consistent results based on the same evidence within the specified time. This is not just a way of expression, but a principle of "evidentialism" that the entire system should follow.

The first principle of OpenLedger's evidentialism is to construct results as "receipt-first" products. Every query not only returns results but also provides a detailed "receipt". This receipt includes key information such as the block window and finality level, the version of the data model used, the source ID and credibility range of the oracle price, the hash value and security assumptions of cross-chain messages, the computation path and protection parameters, and snapshots and root hashes for reproduction. Users can extract the same original data based on this receipt in a local or trusted environment, following the same computation path to ultimately achieve consistent results. Thus, when discussing whether a settlement is fair, the focus of contention shifts from the subjective judgments of individual nodes to whether the computation results can be reproduced based on the receipt within a specified timeframe, greatly reducing the emotional intensity of disputes.

The second core principle is to transform potential points of contention into programmable judgment conditions. This approach is applicable not only to financial operations such as clearing but can also be extended to broader areas such as governance voting and asset tracking. By quantifying points of contention into clear technical parameters, we can more objectively assess the operational status of the system, thereby enhancing the transparency and credibility of the entire ecosystem.

OpenLedger's evidence-based methodology brings a new mode of interaction and governance to the Blockchain world. It not only effectively reduces unnecessary disputes but also promotes the entire industry towards a more transparent, trustworthy, and efficient direction. In this model, technology and facts will become the key to resolving differences, rather than endless arguments. This transformation will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the Blockchain ecosystem, driving the entire industry towards a more mature and rational future.
