Changelog
What we add, what we fix, and what we improve. A transparent record so readers can see how the site evolves.
- Improved
Site-wide accessibility, schema, and trust signals
Added skip-to-content link, BreadcrumbList JSON-LD on 9 more pages, Article/CollectionPage/HowTo schema on 11 more pages, /changelog and /start-here pages, and inline 'Report an error' UI on every content page. Corrected residual count claims (37 learn topics, 27 emerging trends).
- Added
Six new learn topics
Added in-depth learn topics: Zero-Knowledge Proofs Explained, Transaction Anatomy (UTXO vs account, gas, RBF/CPFP), Self-Custody (BIP-39, Shamir, multisig, inheritance), Crypto Tax Rules by Country (US 1099-DA, UK Section 104, EU DAC8), AI Meets Crypto, and Bitcoin ETFs & Institutional Crypto.
- Improved
Expanded existing topics
crypto-privacy now covers ERC-5564 stealth addresses, address reuse risks, and jurisdiction-specific privacy-tool legality. mev-explained covers MEV-Share, Order Flow Auctions, and private mempool setup. bridges-crosschain catalogues Harmony Horizon ($100M, June 2022) and Multichain ($130M+, July 2023) hacks.
- Fixed
Corrected scam statistics with primary source attribution
Replaced unattributed '$17B global losses' with FBI IC3-attributed $12.5B US crypto fraud losses (2024). Clarified that $5.6B is total US crypto fraud (FBI IC3 2023 report) while $3.96B is the investment-fraud subset. Updated quiz question #14 with correct sourcing.
- Added
New interactive tools
Launched Scam Triage Wizard (/scam-checker), Scam Scenario Lab (/scam-lab) with 6 realistic scam scenarios, Token Red Flag Analyzer (/tools/token-red-flags) with 20-item checklist, Wallet Chooser (/tools/wallet-chooser) wizard, and Bridge Safety Guide (/tools/bridge-safety).
- Added
Programmatic comparison and buy guides
Added 19 'Coin vs Coin' comparison pages (e.g., /compare/bitcoin-vs-ethereum) with live market data, technical comparison tables, and FAQ schema. Added 16 'How to Buy [Coin] Safely' guides at /buy/[coin].
- Added
Editorial trust pages
Published /editorial-standards (six principles, four-step review process, content review schedule) and /correction-policy (correction types, 48-hour review SLA). Added Post-Scam Response Center at /post-scam.
- Improved
API efficiency
Reduced CoinGecko API calls per revalidation cycle from 92 to ~2 by routing all coin-price requests through a single batch URL (Next.js Data Cache deduplicates the shared URL across 90 coin pages, the comparison page, and homepage). Increased revalidation interval from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. Projected monthly usage went from worst-case ~795k calls to ~5,760 — well inside the 100k Demo plan budget.
- Fixed
Migration from Vercel to Netlify
Site moved to Netlify hosting with auto-deploy via GitHub webhook + SSH deploy key. Updated privacy policy hosting reference. Configured Cloudflare DNS, custom domain, SSL.
