Understanding Capsules· Lesson 1 of 4+15 XP on completion
What a Capsule contains
A Capsule is the atomic unit of PressChain: a persistent media record that carries everything needed to verify a story over time.
- Identity: the signed author and publisher.
- Content reference: a hash that pins the published text.
- Evidence: documents, statements, and source links.
- Status: community signals such as Accept and Challenge.
- History: every revision recorded as a dated event.
Because each part is transaction-backed, a Capsule cannot quietly lose its evidence or its author.
KEY POINT
Every part of a Capsule is transaction-backed and cannot silently disappear.
