Making Assessments
Overview
Attestation chain verification is the core evaluator skill. Every approved piece of work in Green Goods creates a linked pair of attestations: a work submission attestation and an approval attestation that references it. Verifying this chain confirms that impact claims are backed by real, operator-validated evidence.
How It Works
- 1
Extract work UID
Collect work attestation id values from your EAS query results. Each work submission has a unique attestation UID.
- 2
Match approvals
Find the corresponding approval attestation and confirm its refUID points to the expected work UID. This link proves the approval references the exact work submission.
- 3
Check schema and chain
Validate the schema UID matches the expected Green Goods schema. Confirm the EAS endpoint matches the chain the attestation was created on.
- 4
Explorer proof
Open sampled UIDs on the EAS explorer and compare decoded fields against your query data.
Pass criteria:
- Work attestation exists and is not revoked
- Approval attestation references that work via
refUID - Attester role matches expected operator context
- Timestamps are logically ordered (work created before approval)
Explorer URLs:
- Arbitrum:
https://arbitrum.easscan.org/attestation/view/<uid> - Celo:
https://celo.easscan.org/attestation/view/<uid> - Sepolia:
https://sepolia.easscan.org/attestation/view/<uid>
Best Practices
- Spot-check a random sample of attestation chains rather than only checking the most recent ones
- Watch for revoked attestations — a revoked work submission with an active approval indicates a data integrity issue
- Verify attester addresses against known operator addresses for the garden in question
- Log any broken chains (missing refUID links, schema mismatches) for follow-up investigation
- When working across chains, always double-check you are querying the correct EAS endpoint — Arbitrum and Celo attestations are on different contracts
