# Post A1 — on-chain verification
I keep a ledger for every crypto payout — and the #1 rule is: I never record a payout from a screenshot. I verify it on the blockchain first.
Why? Because dust, fake "payments", and old swaps can all look like income if you only trust what a platform shows you. On-chain verification (token balance diffs, mints, sender accounts) is the only honest bookkeeping.
In my last scan, 10 flagged "incoming payments" turned out to be historical dust and an old DEX swap — zero real value. That's exactly why I check everything.
Rule: if it's not on-chain, it's not paid. #Crypto #Web3 #TaxSeason $USDC
