The token's metadata names that page as its `external_url`, so wallets and marketplaces link to it. The site is built with [QRToken](https://docs.qrtoken.xyz), Patryk Dwórznik's framework for tokens tied to physical items, and its footer names the QRToken build it runs. ## What a page shows The page header carries the token's name, series label as the site writes it ("2024 SERIES" or "2026 SERIES"), serial number and standard, plus links to the token on [BaseScan](https://basescan.org/token/0x4516a5d613c30a36d157d3b579813734cbb929a4?a=7777), to its raw metadata file and to its raw image on the IPFS gateway at `ipfs.veridao.io`. Below it, four tabs: Overview, Contract, Metadata and Media. The Overview tab is a list of values, each tagged with its source: | Value | Tag | Where it comes from | | ----------------------------------------------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Serial № | ON-CHAIN | The token id on the contract, 0x4516a5D613C30A36D157d3b579813734cbb929a4 | | Metal, Purity, Weight (oz), Year, Mint, Serial Number | METADATA | The `attributes` of the token's metadata file at `ipfs:///.json` | | AI Agent Access, P2P Trading, Derivatives | METADATA | Boolean attributes of the same file, `true`; the page shows the label with no value | "ON-CHAIN values are read straight from the Base blockchain. METADATA values come from the token's metadata file, stored on IPFS", as the page puts it. Nothing on it is the site's own statement: every row is a value you can read yourself. ## Reading the same values without the site The page is a view of two sources that are public on their own: - **The contract.** `uri(id)` on the token contract returns the metadata URI, and `tokenSeries(id)` the series. `tokenStatus(id)` on `SeriesActivation` says whether the token has been activated. - **The metadata file.** `ipfs:///.json`, fetched from any IPFS gateway, holds the name, description, image and attributes the page displays. [Look up a SmartMetal token](https://veri.how/smartmetal/lookup.md) gives the `curl` command for each, and [SmartMetal series](https://veri.how/smartmetal/series.md) the two series' CIDs and token ids. If the page and the contract ever disagree, the contract is right; the point of the tags is that you never have to take the page's word for it. The QRToken documentation describes the same check from the issuer's side, in [its trust model](https://docs.qrtoken.xyz/introduction/#trust-model-provenance-by-source) and the [Verify step](https://docs.qrtoken.xyz/getting-started/#7-verify) of its getting-started guide. ## What veri.vip is not It is not the contract, and holds no tokens: the token lives at 0x4516a5D613C30A36D157d3b579813734cbb929a4 on Base, and the pages read it. And it does not decide a token's state: whether a SmartMetal is activated is written in `SeriesActivation` by the activation transaction, as [Activate a SmartMetal](https://veri.how/smartmetal/activate.md) describes, and veri.vip can only report it. ## Sources 1.
