Release Notes / Changelog

​

2026-04-12

• Repaired stale packet and changelog discoverability claims so the planning packet now matches the actual public navigation and current docs state more closely.
• Tightened retired operator raw-spec handling in the repo-owned Mintlify contract by routing the legacy /api-specs/operator-client-request.json and /api-specs/operator-kyc.yaml paths back to the operator boundary summary instead of treating raw-spec exposure as acceptable public behavior.
• Hardened the major route-owner pages across Getting Started, API Reference, and Reference so audience routes, transport-family routes, and generated-versus-authoritative source ownership are stated more explicitly instead of relying on minimal link-hub wording.
• Expanded the operator and copy-trading boundary summaries, the smart-contract reference, REST examples/SDK posture, realtime rate-limit posture, generated-reference status pages, and the landing pages for tutorials, how-to guides, reference, explanation, and support so the v1 shell behaves more like a real launch surface.
• Added the first Phase 7 ddx-python expansion routes: Getting Started with ddx-python, WebSocket Realtime Data Tutorial, and ddx-python Library Reference, bringing the Python SDK family into the public docs for the first time.
• Added the first public-safe node-operations expansion routes: Setting Up a DerivaDEX Node, How to Verify Operator Localnet Readiness, and Node Operations Reference, so Phase 7 now covers initial operator localnet mode, readiness, and baseline-contract guidance without publishing a private runbook.
• Expanded the node-operations family with public-safe SGX troubleshooting, downtime-and-recovery, and monitoring/alerting how-to guides, and deepened the node-operations reference with readiness endpoints, attestation expectations, orchestration constants, and monitoring signals.
• Tightened the public matching-engine safety reference so liquidation priority, ADL bankruptcy-price execution, residual cancellation at taker-deviation guards, MF versus OMF, and insurance-fund-shortfall-to-ADL behavior are stated more explicitly in the public reference layer.
• Added the first advanced-strategy tutorial wave with Moving Average Crossover, Mean Reversion, and Arbitrage Monitor lessons so the builder path now extends beyond the launch-shell first bot.
• Expanded the explanation layer with focused market-structure and builder-rationale pages for front-running prevention, performance engineering, and consensus/checkpointing/finality.
• Added the next low-duplication Phase 7 wave with a Binance/Bybit migration guide plus semantic-mapping reference, and public-safe node-operation guides for controlled updates and signal-driven performance tuning.
• Added the next governance-focused Phase 7 wave with public Security Council election and asset-listing procedures, a governance-process reference page, and a dedicated governance explanation page so the governance family no longer stops at proposal, vote, and delegation basics.
• Added the next composability-focused Phase 7 wave with public how-to guides for DApp liquidity integration, smart-contract integration, and realtime data access, plus a dedicated smart-contract architecture explanation page.
• Added the next trader-and-trust-model Phase 7 wave with advanced-order-type and SafetyFailure-debug how-to guides plus first-class consumer-protection and cryptographic-security explanation pages.
• Added the next API-operations Phase 7 wave with dedicated how-to guides for high-frequency strategy structure, API rate-limit handling, and WebSocket-performance discipline.
• Added a deeper public reference wave for contract and governance lookup, including first-class selector/facet/event reference coverage and a dedicated governance-mechanics-and-thresholds reference grounded in the repo-backed governance constants and tests.
• Added the first later-wave Community & Support expansion with dedicated public resource maps for institutional diligence, the developer ecosystem, and trading education, so those hierarchy families now exist as explicit routes instead of being implied indirectly through builder, trader, and governance pages.
• Added the next Phase 7 tutorial/explanation wave with Advanced Risk Management Techniques, a dedicated hybrid on-chain/off-chain model explanation, and a first-class CLOB-in-DeFi market-structure explanation.
• Added the next governance-reference wave with DDX Token Specifications and Governance Proposal Templates and Requirements, so the hierarchy’s remaining public governance reference cluster is no longer limited to process and threshold pages alone.
• Added a public-safe institutional diligence wave with How to Run a Public Institutional Diligence Review, Institutional Diligence and Market-Maker Evaluation Reference, and Institutional Diligence, Market Structure, and Public Boundaries, so the institutional family now has executable diligence guidance and first-class public-boundary explanation instead of only a resource map.
• Added the first developer-contribution execution wave with How to Contribute to ddx-python, How to Contribute Public Documentation, and Open Source Contribution Paths, so the developer-ecosystem family now includes concrete public contribution procedures instead of only a high-level resource map.
• Added How to Optimize Your Trading Setup, closing the remaining named trading-operations how-to gap from the current hierarchy-backed public backlog with a concrete pre-trade screen, context, and risk-discipline procedure.
• Added Institutional Onboarding Public Baseline and Market Maker Evaluation and Program Boundaries, expanding the institutional family beyond a single route map by giving public onboarding and market-maker readers dedicated first-class baseline pages without inventing private program terms.

​

2026-04-11

• Restored the governed What is DerivaDEX? overview page contract after a branch-tip regression, including canonical next-step routing and page-local public sources.
• Added first-class governance and orientation routes: Cast Your First Governance Vote, Understanding the Trading Interface, governance how-to guides, and the public Regulatory and Compliance Approach plus Trusted Hardware and Security Model explanations.
• Added the initial Smart Contract Addresses and Core Contract Reference page and expanded community surfaces with Community Resources plus a nav-backed release-notes route.
• Tightened Getting Started so Choose Your Path is explicit in navigation and audience routing reflects the current governance and institutional paths.
• Added proposal-first governance coverage with Your First DAO Proposal and How to Submit a Governance Proposal, so the public governance surface now covers proposal creation as well as voting and delegation.
• Expanded public reference coverage with repo-carried contract-address publication, settlement and maintenance posture notes, and clearer deployment-conditional wording where the docs should not imply timeless constants.
• Hardened public AI-boundary posture by treating restricted and product-specific families as boundary-only surfaces, not public generated-contract surfaces.
• Removed the retired public operator/client-request/KYC and copy-trading deep route trees from the public docs tree, leaving boundary-summary pages as the canonical public contract and historical deep links as summary redirects only.

​

2026-04-09

• Established the Mintlify public-docs skeleton under docs/ with audience-first top-level routing.
• Added transport-first API-family routes for public REST, realtime, restricted operator, copy trading, and legacy API lineage.
• Added explicit public/internal AI-indexing boundaries through docs.json, .mintignore, and assistant guidance.
• Added a custom Mintlify skill under .mintlify/skills/ plus deeper API-family support pages for Quickstart, Authentication, Rate Limits, Errors, Source Artifact, visibility, and generated-reference status.
• Refined the builder and trader entry routes so they answer first-reader questions instead of routing recursively through multiple overview pages.
• Hid restricted and product-specific API families from primary navigation while keeping their boundary pages linkable from the API-family map.
• Replaced the thinnest realtime support stubs with spec-backed guidance for public WebSocket subscriptions, REST bootstrap, user-data filtering, and current error and rate-limit posture.
