Changelog & Updates

Building upon our new high-speed NATS architecture, this update brings complete transparency to system health. We introduced a dedicated Sentinel (Watchdog) to track global network state, allowing users to instantly see if our local node is syncing or if the backend processor is catching up to a massive data spike.

👁️ Real-time Observability

• Dynamic Sync Indicator: The "LIVE" status dot in the navigation bar is now fully dynamic. If our local Qubic Lite Node falls behind the global network by more than 15 ticks, the indicator automatically shifts to a pulsing orange warning (⚠️ SYNCING: Behind by X ticks).
• NATS Queue Visibility: We now display the exact number of pending JetStream messages directly in the UI. This allows advanced users to instantly differentiate whether a delay is caused by the blockchain node syncing (empty queue) or our analytics worker processing a heavy data backlog (full queue).

🛡️ Microservice Architecture

• Independent Network Watchdog: Created a lightweight, decoupled Go routine that safely polls the official Qubic RPC every 15 seconds. This guarantees we always know the true network height without triggering public API rate limits.
• MySQL 8.0 Resilience: Implemented a custom information_schema column-checking mechanism. This ensures automatic, error-free database migrations across restarts, bypassing standard MySQL 8.0 schema limitations.

While our previous v1.3.0 Interactive Explorer release focused entirely on giving you powerful frontend tools to analyze entities, this update is a massive overhaul of our backend engine. We have deprecated our older, synchronous HTTP data pipelines in favor of a high-speed, resilient messaging layer capable of handling extreme network scale.

⚡ Major Architecture Shift: HTTP to NATS JetStream

• High-Speed Messaging Layer: We've completely refactored our microservices. The Hetzner bridge and the Analytics Worker now communicate via NATS JetStream instead of direct HTTP webhooks. This eliminates web-server bottlenecks and dramatically reduces processing latency.
• Asynchronous Processing: Unlike the tight HTTP coupling in v1.3.0, data extraction is now fully decoupled from database insertion. The bridge streams raw ticks instantly to the broker, allowing the Worker to consume and process data at its own optimal pace.
• Zero Data Loss Guarantee: Utilizing JetStream's persistent storage, if our analytics worker restarts or encounters an error, it resumes exactly where it left off. No more lost ticks during maintenance windows.

🛡️ Network Resilience & Integrity

• Smart Rollback Protection: Added advanced logic to the Worker to detect network-level rollbacks (e.g., if the Qubic node rewinds by >50 ticks). The system now automatically adapts to the new chain state, preventing database corruption—something the v1.3.0 backend could not do natively.
• NATS RPC Richlist Scanning: The daily wallet balance scanner now utilizes high-speed NATS Request-Reply (RPC) to query node data, replacing the slower, resource-heavy HTTP API endpoints.

✨ General Improvements

• Graceful Shutdowns: All Go services (Bridge and Worker) now support graceful context cancellations, ensuring active database transactions are safely committed before any restart sequence.

This update transforms the "Entity Watch" section from a static report into a powerful, interactive tool for deep-dive analysis. Users can now seamlessly navigate from aggregated statistics to individual transaction histories, enabling a much deeper understanding of on-chain activity.

🚀 Major Feature: Interactive Entity Analysis

• Clickable "Top 10" List: The entire row for each entity in the "Top 10 Active Entities" table is now a clickable link, directing users to a detailed transaction page.
• New Dedicated Entity Page: Replaced the cumbersome modal window with a full, mobile-friendly page displaying an entity's transaction history.
• Flow Summaries: The new entity page includes a header with total IN/OUT volumes in both QUBIC and USD for the selected period.
• Drill-Down Links: Within the entity transaction list, all unclassified counterparty wallets (e.g., "Cosmic Kraken") are now active links, allowing users to jump directly to that wallet's own history page and continue their investigation.

🔒 Security & Bug Fixes

• Critical CSRF Vulnerability Patched: A significant security vulnerability was discovered and fixed in the Live Stream's API endpoint, preventing potential cross-site request forgery attacks.
• Fixed a bug where the "Learn" menu item would not be correctly highlighted when active.

✨ UI/UX Improvements

• Numbered Wallet History: The transaction list on the individual Wallet page is now numbered in ascending chronological order for easier reference.
• Daily Update Info: Added a note to the "Rich List" chart clarifying that the data is recalculated daily at 11:30 UTC.

This major update addresses information overload by restructuring the entire Analytics section for clarity and depth. We've introduced powerful new tools for wealth analysis and implemented a universal classification system that brings real-world context to on-chain data.

🚀 New Features

• Brand New Rich List Analysis: The 'Entity Watch' section now features a logarithmic chart of wealth distribution among the top 6000 individual wallets, excluding all known exchanges and contracts to provide a true picture of whale holdings.
• Pareto (80/20) Principle Breakdown: Added a powerful statistical summary below the Rich List chart, showing the immense wealth concentration in the hands of the top 20% of holders versus the remaining 80%.

🏛️ Architectural & Performance Upgrades

• Focused Analytics Sections: The monolithic Analytics page has been strategically split into three distinct, focused sections: Market Flow, Network Health, and Entity Watch. This massively reduces cognitive load and allows for deeper analysis.
• Universal Entity Classification: Implemented a new backend system to classify hundreds of known exchanges, QRC-20 tokens, and smart contracts. Anonymous aliases are now replaced with real entity names across the entire platform.
• On-Demand JavaScript Loading: Each analytics section now loads only its necessary scripts, resulting in a dramatically faster page load and rendering experience.

✨ UI/UX Improvements

• Intelligent Loading Indicators: Analytics pages now display a loading spinner while complex data is being processed, ensuring a smooth and transparent user experience.
• Redesigned Analytics Navigation: A new, elegant dropdown menu provides seamless access to the new analytics sections, improving site navigation.
• Cleaner Chart Axis: The X-axis on the Rich List chart has been optimized to prevent label overcrowding and improve readability.
• Smarter 'Smart Tags': The heuristic-based tagging (e.g., 'Miner / Computor') is now correctly applied *only* to truly anonymous, unclassified entities, making the 'Top Active Entities' list far more accurate.

🛠️ Data Integrity

• Performed a full historical data backfill. All past whale transfers and wallet lists have been re-processed with the new classification system, enriching the entire dataset with accurate entity names.

A massive architectural update completely transforming how we process and visualize on-chain data. We've introduced dual-exchange price tracking, reversed our color logic to match pro-trading standards, and patched a data leak in our volume calculations.

🚀 New Features

• Absolute Tick Tracking: Our node connector now guarantees that absolutely every single tick on the Qubic network is captured, parsed, and categorized, leaving zero gaps in historical network volume.
• Dual Price Tracking: Live QUBIC/USDT prices from both Gate.io and MEXC are now tracked independently in real-time.
• Price-Action Overlays: Both exchange prices are now overlaid as Gold and Purple lines on the Netflow and 5-Minute Volume charts. You can now visually spot Arbitrage spreads!
• OHLC Database Engine: Built a custom 5-second polling engine that stores price history in professional Open, High, Low, Close (OHLC) 5-minute buckets.
• Whale Threshold Lowered: The Live Stream broadcast threshold was reduced from 5B to 1B QUBIC (>$900 USD) to capture more "Fish" tier action.

🔄 Changes & Improvements

• Mobile-Friendly UI Optimization: The dashboard has been fully optimized for mobile devices. We expanded the top statistics grid to 10 perfectly balanced, responsive blocks, preventing UI overflow and improving readability on smaller screens.
• Trader-First Color Logic: Inflows are now marked RED (Bearish) and Outflows are marked GREEN (Bullish) across the entire platform.
• USD Value Formatting: All USD values across the platform are now strictly locked to 2 decimal places for financial accuracy, while Token amounts remain whole numbers.
• Documentation Hub: Created a comprehensive "Learn" section explaining market signals, The Shrimp Paradox, and Hidden Retail Flows.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• Fixed a "Double Counting" bug where Medium-volume ticks (100M - 499M) were occasionally misclassified.
• Patched a data leak to ensure 100% of sub-500M retail transactions are securely archived into the overall Network Volume metrics.
• Fixed real-time USD value shifting on Live Stream historical rows upon page refresh.
