Field notes
The series uses a fixed article structure covering background, mechanism, the case for a proposal, and the strongest case against it. Its homepage lists current and planned coverage across NU6.3 and possible NU7 changes, including wallet consequences, block timing, transaction formats, and fee treatment. The project also describes source checking, public correction logs, and disclosure of AI-tool use.
