What is TFA?
Tela Filum Arachne means web, thread and spider: the web of blockchains, the thread of the money, and the watcher. TFA is developing an independent observation and evidence system, starting with Solana.
The first goal is to explain supported fund movements after an event, and to inspect evidenced relationships between launches. An address relationship does not establish who controlled an address, why a transfer happened, or whether anyone did something wrong.
How TFA works
- Observe. A chain adapter records supported public data and its source, time, network and coverage.
- Check. Named verification procedures record what passed, what relies on a provider, and where sources disagree.
- Trace. Versioned rules build bounded paths and document alternative explanations and stop reasons.
- Record. Source evidence, interpretations and amendments are retained in an append-only history.
- Review and publish. Only a reviewed projection reaches the read-only public API. Private material stays out.
Four different kinds of statement
| Evidence label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Provider-reported | A source reported the event. Independent confirmation may be absent. |
| Observer-attested | An observer recorded it; source and operator independence must be stated. |
| Defined checks passed | A named procedure succeeded. This is limited to what that procedure checks. |
| Inferred assessment | A rule or model inferred a relationship or pattern under stated assumptions. |
These properties do not form a ladder to “verified fraud.” AI may eventually assist with explanations, but it does not decide truth or change observations. The current prototype does not require AI.
A hash-linked local ledger is an audit trail. It is not independent consensus, and a matching hash does not prove that a source was truthful.
What report statuses mean
These are the planned statuses. TFA has not released public reports.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Private draft | An internal working result, not cleared for publication. |
| Provisional | Evidence or source finality is incomplete. Dependent conclusions remain limited. |
| Published | Released under the publication policy, with evidence and stated limits. It is not a determination of wrongdoing. |
| Disputed | A challenge is recorded. Its scope and review outcome must remain visible. |
| Corrected | A newer record changes the interpretation. The original and correction remain linked. |
| Withdrawn | The finding is no longer relied on. Dependent results must be withdrawn or recomputed. |
Questions worth asking.
Is TFA monitoring live Solana data?
Not yet. The current stage uses stored fixtures. The public walkthrough uses made-up data and no real wallet addresses.
Can I connect my wallet?
The website does not connect wallets, hold funds or request signing keys, passwords or recovery phrases.
Is the TFA coin available?
No. There is no official TFA coin or token available. Any token using that name today is not ours.
Can TFA recover funds or identify a person?
No. TFA cannot seize or recover funds. An address relationship does not identify a person or an exchange customer.
Does a missing trail mean the funds stopped moving?
No. It may mean missing history, unsupported programs or a tracing limit. Each path should state why it stops.
Is TFA part of WebbWing?
They share a founder, but TFA is a separate project with its own site and evidence rules. Future rules must treat owner-linked, advertised and unrelated projects equally.
Where is the globe?
TFA Globe is designed, with implementation planned for Stage 3 private review and public release at Stage 4. The home-page graphic is a concept, not a live globe.
How will corrections and disputes work?
Corrections append a new record instead of deleting history. Public findings require a working, free dispute and appeal process before Stage 4. See the dispute page for current availability.
