# Changelog

## 2026-06-01 to 2026-06-06

Navigation redesign reshapes the sidebar and homepage, a compare hub launches, and the depeg resolver locks forecasts.

- **Navigation & homepage redesign**: The sidebar becomes a lit 'watch column', a sticky core tape rail spans the top routes, and the homepage swaps static callouts for a rotating discovery module. The depeg resolver is promoted in primary navigation.
- **Public compare hub**: A new indexable compare hub launches for side-by-side stablecoin lookups, the DEWS radar now surfaces high-risk coin logos scaled by escalation tier, and the public dataset catalog gains JSON-LD structured data.
- **Resolver readiness & apxUSD**: The depeg resolver now locks predictions by forecast readiness or backstop, persisting lock metadata behind a readiness contract. The apxUSD incident reopened across DDR/DDRR with hardened pricing and projection.
- **Reserves & Royco yield**: A structured tranche-yield safety model lands and ingests Royco Dawn rows, while live-reserve coverage gains audit hardening, finalization fixes, and corrected source mappings for assigned assets.
- **Scoring updates**: Safety Score advances to v7.291, and PegScore coverage extends to more priced assets.
- **Pipeline fail-closed hardening**: Pricing, depeg, DEWS, yield, reserves, and blacklist paths now fail closed on stale or uncorroborated data, with freshness guards, input gating, and hardened parsing. The ops proxy now requires Access JWTs.
- **Codebase consolidation**: A broad refactor wave shares helpers across worker, Telegram, and UI layers, derives types from schemas, and prunes dead code; perf work defers heavy detail bundles, memoizes the coverage matrix, and chunks cron queries.

## 2026-05-25 to 2026-05-31

The Depeg Resolver (DDR/DDRR) v2 ships at /depeg, dashboard cards flatten, and the data layer gets a two-pass audit.

- **Depeg Resolver (DDR/DDRR) v2**: /depeg goes public: DDR predicts how long an active depeg will last with sticky locked forecasts and a verdict-band lockup; DDRR scores past predictions on a reviewer. DDR also shows on each coin page.
- **Data audit & remediation**: Data passes plus follow-ups recover crvUSD and Reservoir reserve breakers, move ZCHF capacity to CHFAU, switch fxSAVE redemption to live capacity, align USG/HLUSD/JPYC/YUSD, and pin StablR's EURR/USDR multisig exploit.
- **Compliance & GENIUS tracker**: A new GENIUS Act tracker surface launches alongside expanded compliance metadata research, and the MiCA tracker now enforces out-of-scope constraints to keep deliberately-undefined coins distinct from unassessed ones.
- **Pre-launch additions**: Tenbin Gold (tGLD) — a synthetic gold debt-note from a CME-futures basket — and GEL₮, Tether's pre-launch Georgian Lari, join the pre-launch list, and the weekly upcoming sweep tracks Flipcash's launch and USDPT.
- **Flat-card design pass**: Card accents flatten — the colored border-l retires except for data-driven indicators. Price Transparency and Redemption Backstop go full-width on coin pages, and depeg page hierarchy tightens around the resolver.
- **Platform hygiene**: Cron cache helpers centralize, depeg resolver and DEWS D1 retries harden, admin API contracts get schema validation, and several large surfaces (yield, command palette, timeline, picker) split into smaller modules.

## 2026-05-18 to 2026-05-24

Design-system overhaul lands, the MiCA tracker goes live, and the yield page gets a ground-up rebuild.

- **Design system & UX overhaul**: Foundational tokens consolidated with a severity AA-contrast fork, then an IA graph, a11y and motion choreography, editorial voice, inline sparklines with linked brushing, and a universal watchlist with palette verbs.
- **Yield intelligence overhaul**: Yield rebuilt around a scatter and a draggable risk-budget slider, a source sheet showing confidence and depth, a per-factor PYS breakdown, per-coin APY-change attribution, and a public decision ledger (v8.16).
- **MiCA tracker launch**: A new /mica/ tracker launches and sweeps to full coverage at 25 coins, cross-referenced against the ESMA register, with GUSD ruled non-compliant and the tracker cross-linked from coin and compliance surfaces.
- **Learn hub & depeg case studies**: A new /learn hub and LEARN nav group launch with a depeg case-studies section; case studies cross-link from coin, cemetery, depeg, and mechanism pages, and chart annotations now link to the case study behind each event.
- **Guided stablecoin Picker**: A guided stablecoin picker ships at /screener/picker/ on a new selector engine: snapshot endpoint, peg-scope scoring, custody and depeg-watch logic, a mobile form, a homepage callout, and a Telegram follow command.
- **Navigation & homepage refresh**: An alternate homepage and timeline layout land, with a 9-depeg desktop grid, an optional phosphor CRT reading mode, a unified chain-profile hero, expanded mechanism explainers, and a prominence-ranked command palette.
- **Pricing integrity & reliability**: DEX price sanity gates and Carbon normalization make DexScreener augmentation opt-in (pricing v6.05), Liquidity Score v5.7 adds price-gating, plus a cron staleness watchdog and an API-key rate-limit fallback.
- **Redemption backstop coverage**: Redemption backstop scoring (v4.04) gains documented route sources, source-support validation, and expanded confidence scoring, with a coverage matrix that surfaces outage and degraded states; report cards degrade on redemption outages, the data is exposed in stablecoin JSON-LD, and malformed telemetry fails closed.
- **Mint Authority transparency**: A new Mint Authority section on coin pages surfaces who can mint and control supply — control addresses with on-chain evidence, Safe-module display, and risk-tone posture cues — with coverage expanded across the top stablecoins.
- **Broader coverage**: The tracked universe reaches 399 coins with FUSD, sDOLA, GLDT, and Ondo's iAUON and sLVON added and pre-launch gynUSD joining, while reserve adapters climb to 57 and live-reserve coverage to 267.

## 2026-05-11 to 2026-05-17

Screener launches, detail pages rebuild around verdict, and Yield v8.13 ships multi-currency benchmarks.

- **Pharos Screener launch**: New /screener/ tool ships with composable filters, blacklistable + safety-tier predicates, URL state codec, and universal CSV/NDJSON/Markdown export for power users.

- **Yield methodology v8.13**: Yield gets a v8.13 bump with a multi-currency benchmark registry (GBP/JPY/MXN/BRL/AUD/CAD), currency tab strip, per-coin /stablecoin/[id]/yield page, source-risk scoring, and yield-spike annotations.
- **Tape → Timeline migration**: The Tape moves to /timeline/ with per-class digest grouping and new PSI/DEWS/mint-burn/yield/peak-worsen/methodology/cemetery/lifecycle projectors. Copy-permalink, server-side search, and wire-service redesign land.
- **Telegram Mini App maturation**: Mini App Phase 2-4 ships with HMAC hardening, /forget command, batched coin-setting writes, global depeg-step setting, and watchlists. Group UX, retention, and webhook delivery hardened across the board.
- **DEWS v6 + depeg lifecycle**: DEWS v6 lands with evidence + freshness scoring, depeg lifecycle provenance schema, /depeg/<event>/ pages gated at 250 bps threshold, incident triage surface, and historical provenance persistence.
- **Reserve coverage expansion**: Reserve adapter count climbs to 55 with sGHO, Zephyr, centrifuge-vault, Resupply, hbUSDT, and score-grade adapters. Live-reserves coverage reaches 252; methodology v7.23 documents the scoring policy.
- **Redemption backstop v4**: Redemption backstop v4 ships with audited route coverage, capacity-model split, run-row handling, source-reviewed backstop scoring, refreshed coverage modeling, and a redemption backstop card on detail pages.
- **Performance + bundle work**: Client registry splits into a slim 281 KiB path (down from 1.37 MiB), fonts move to woff2 + subset Newsreader, detail charts lazy-mount on intersection, Web Vitals stream to GA, and chunk-size budgets gate merges.
- **Worker + scripts modularization**: Scripts split into ci/maintenance/oneshots, telegram webhook + store split into focused submodules, shared/lib groups by domain (chains, classification, telegram, blacklist), and cron mock factories standardize tests.
- **CI + supply chain hardening**: Zizmor + CodeQL findings remediated, persist-credentials + explicit secrets enforced on workflows, deploy validation runtime trimmed, validate leaf jobs start immediately, and pages release smoke gates clarified.

## 2026-05-04 to 2026-05-10

Non-USD stablecoin batch ships, DEX pricing gains confidence telemetry, and Telegram adds depeg-step commands.

- **Non-USD coverage expansion**: Non-USD peg batch ships with supply-backfill fallback, CADD joins with full redemption + live-reserve coverage, Tangent USG activates, and the homepage Fiat filter works on first click.
- **Live reserve hardening**: Reserve Protocol DTF adapter goes live, deferred and uncertain sync states surface in the UI, adapter helper contracts expand coverage, and River/SG Forge date handling hardens.
- **DEX pricing telemetry**: Confidence telemetry exposes per-source reliability, expanded bridge sources widen DEX coverage, impossible TVL and fee-variant duplicates rejected, and stale Coinbase DAI-USD dropped.
- **Digest intelligence**: Daily digest leads with critical risk signals and uses live prices for active depegs. Telegram gains depeg-step commands and hardened group UX; homepage preview rebalanced.

- **USND archive**: Nerite USND moves to the frozen cemetery archive after the rsETH collateral incident, preserving the detail page while removing live reserve tracking.
- **Infrastructure and docs**: Alt-peg atlas positioning fixed, LLMs stablecoin export refreshed, sitemap test prereqs generated correctly, and README gains TOC with AI guidance cross-reference.

## 2026-04-27 to 2026-05-03

PharosVille v1 ships, frozen lifecycle lands with USR + BUCK archived, and a 10-phase audit remediation closes.

- **Pharosville v1**: Pharosville v1 launch: a pixel-art harbor where the Pharos data comes to life, with chains as harbors, stablecoins as ships, and DEWS alert tiers as sea zones.
- **Frozen lifecycle**: USR (Resolv) and BUCK become the first frozen archives. Frozen banner + chart footers, command-palette/compare/cemetery surfaces, OG/sitemap retention, cron writes excluded, PSI excludes frozen.
- **Audit remediation: 10 phases**: Phases 2-10 close: refactor splits (env contracts, contagion graph, dex discovery, taxonomy, fallback, depeg), shell-safe git refs, validated D1 usage payloads, KYC blacklist hardening, Node 24 baseline.
- **Per-coin catalog migration**: Stablecoin metadata moves from monolithic JSON shells to per-coin files with a generated aggregate; loaders, docs, lifecycle references, and tests follow.

## 2026-04-20 to 2026-04-26

Harbor and canal metaphors redraw /chains and /liquidity, public /api/* goes keyed-only, and tracked coverage hits 215.

- **Visualization metaphors**: /chains becomes a nautical harbor chart with ships scaled by supply, /liquidity turns into a canal with mitre lock gates and chain basins, and the PSI hero gets a lighthouse mini-scene.
- **Alt-pegs world atlas**: Alt-pegs hub gains a docked world map with country-fill colors driven by peg taxonomy, a celestial band for Gold/Silver/CPI, fullscreen inspection mode, and a non-USD market structure route.
- **Coverage and variants framework**: Tracked coverage grows from 191 to 215 across a flat RWA issuer batch, risk-wrapper assets, and a redemption-modeling pass; a new variants framework links wrappers to parents with inherited blacklist status.
- **/api/* keyed-only**: Public /api/* lane is removed in favor of X-API-Key on every request; /_site-data/* is gated on Origin/Referer headers, with a tested 401 floor and a narrow exempt carve-out for feedback/og/health.
- **Pipeline correctness hardening**: Reserve/chart/yield-rankings cache validators, freshness sentinels, supply-history validation, malformed payload handling, abort-signal propagation, cron lane isolation, and onchain-only detail fallback.
- **Tier 1 refactor wave**: Repo-wide dedup: shared isRecord/CircuitRecord/admin-gates, GradeBadge and DetailSectionTitle primitives, error boundaries, dead layouts, retired legacy stablecoin routes, and frontend module splits.

## 2026-04-13 to 2026-04-19

Pricing pipeline v5.0 lands, 40+ new risk-coverage entries across backstops/blacklist/reserves, and /funding launches.

- **Pricing pipeline v5.0**: Every fetcher returns FetcherOutcome for breaker discipline, Curve/Chainlink staleness guards tighten, upstream-observed timestamps propagate from Bitstamp/Coinbase/Curve, and no-candidate circuit recovery generalizes.
- **DEWS v5.95 contagion amplifier**: Cross-asset contagion amplifier (clamped [1.0, 1.2]) joins the DEWS blend, a backtest harness validates detection rate + lead time on curated anchors, and /api/stress-signals surfaces amplifier breakdown.
- **Mint-burn flows v6.0**: LayerZero/CCIP/CCTP bridges tag as bridge_transfer, atomic roundtrips require 0.5% tolerance, USDC and EURC get CCTP detection, and the Bank Run Gauge reweights by canonical-chain mcap rather than global supply.
- **Redemption backstops v3.99**: Adds the flat/RWA issuer batch (USDon, USDsui, BRLV, USDGLO, AUDM, Alloy aUSDT) on top of the prior route expansion, capacity clamping to supply, fee-score breakpoints, and documented fail-closed fallbacks for falcon/frxusd.
