Identity & Authority — The Lens

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Authority figures like Charles Hoskinson and Prof Aggelos Kiayias are named, but the site lacks structured data support; specifically, no Person schema or sameAs links are present to connect them to external academic or professional profiles. The use of a generic Project schema type instead of a robust Organization schema also contributes to a minor authority gap.

The site makes several bold marketing claims like ‘world’s leading blockchain research company’ without citing a specific third-party ranking. However, this is largely offset by the demonstration of actual research output, with specific papers like ‘UC4Free!’ and ‘Peregrine’ listed with their respective 2026 conference acceptance dates.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
