Introducing Advanced Charting, the Leaderboard, and the New Handle System

1. TradingView Advanced Chart Integration

We have completely overhauled the charting engine.

• Advanced Library: Switched to the full TradingView Advanced Charting Library.
• Performance: Smoother dragging, real-time ticker updates, and optimized rendering.
• Persistence: The chart now saves your layout, zoom level, and timeframe preferences automatically.
• Custom Theming: A polished look that perfectly matches the VTX dark mode aesthetic.

2. Launching: The Leaderboard & Social System

We are proud to unveil the brand-new Leaderboard and Social system, designed for discovery and community interaction.

• Flexible Layouts: A new responsive design features a detailed table view for desktop and a sleek "card view" for mobile devices.
• Social Sharing: You can now copy AI prompts and settings directly from top performers on the leaderboard.
• Deep Integration: Handles on the leaderboard now link directly to the Hyperliquid explorer.
• Pagination: Optimized performance with pagination controls (defaulting to 50 rows per page).

3. Identity Evolved: The @Handle System

To support the new social features while maintaining privacy, we are moving away from email-based identification.

• Introducing Handles: Users are now identified by unique @handles across the platform.
• Privacy First: Email addresses are no longer displayed in the navbar or search results.
• Search: You can now search for other users to import snapshots or grant credits purely by their handle.
• Cooldowns: To prevent confusion, handle changes are limited to 2 changes every 14 days.

4. New News Platform

You are reading this on our brand new News system!

• Direct Communication: A dedicated space for updates, changelogs, and announcements.
• Community: We've added support for anonymous comments (with moderation) to foster discussion on updates.
• Markdown Support: Rich text formatting for clearer, more detailed articles.

5. AI & Engine Enhancements

• Snapshot Sharing: Sharing logic has been secured and improved. Import "Social Snapshots" from the community with confidence.
• Synchronization: The AI Assistant and Trader loops have been unified for better reliability and timing.
• Cost Metrics: Added hourly and daily cost estimates to the AI model selection screen.
• Global Counter: A new global "Prompts Processed" counter on the landing page showcases platform activity.

6. Security & Stability

• Hyperliquid Auth: Major hardening of the authentication system, including stricter key validation and better error messages.
• Disposable Emails: To maintain platform quality, registration with disposable email domains is now blocked.
• Performance: Removed BTC throttling for non-BTC pairs and optimized WebSocket connections for faster data streaming.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed chart volume flickering and "candle mixing" on symbol switches.
• Fixed race conditions in AI snapshot hash calculations.
• Resolved layout shifts on mobile and desktop.
• Fixed hydration errors in the navigation bar.
• Standardized page widths across the application for a consistent feel.
