Better Grotto markets, clearer liquidity education, and safer infrastructure

May 23-30, 2026

For traders

Graduated Grotto tokens are easier to find

The trade token selector now pulls recent graduated Grotto tokens from the indexer, verifies that each token has a live WHERESY liquidity pair, and merges eligible tokens into the trading list.

Token imagery now follows Grotto launches

Dynamically discovered Grotto tokens can now use their published artwork in the trade selector, while curated token logos stay first and text initials remain available as a fallback.

Pair tables are faster to scan

The trade pairs table now uses sortable column headers and defaults to market-cap sorting, making it simpler to compare liquidity, volume, price, fees, fee tier, APR, and market cap.

For liquidity providers

Concentrated liquidity now has a guided walkthrough

The CL page added an education panel that explains swaps, active liquidity, range choices, fee tier, token amounts, pool status, and position preview before users commit capital.

Range creation copy is clearer

The add-liquidity flow now uses more neutral range language and a fixed desktop layout so the position rail remains readable while LPs configure a position.

For portfolio tracking

Portfolio charts render cleaner history

Portfolio history dates now render as compact labels instead of stretched chart text, and snapshot writes wait for loaded portfolio value data before recording history.

Seeded histories recover from zero-value samples

Synthetic portfolio histories now repair incomplete zero-value samples and keep chart points evenly spaced, producing a more reliable first-view history.

Platform reliability

Contracts dependency security tightened

The contracts repo received targeted dependency overrides for the websocket and temporary-file packages used through the toolchain, clearing high-priority audit paths while preserving the current Hardhat setup.

Worker dependency maintenance landed

The Heresy arbitrage worker updated its viem dependency so its websocket dependency resolves to a patched version, with checks, builds, tests, and audit validation completed.

Release coverage

Summarized from merged work across 3 CAVE repositories.

CAVE launch week: staking, analytics, and a sharper market experience

May 16-23, 2026

For traders

Trade charts are more stable and useful

Candles now come from the CAVE market-data service, chart panning and zooming survive refreshes, and the trade chart includes cleaner candle readouts, better intervals, and a calmer terminal layout.

Cross-chain CAVE routes improved

The trade and bridge flows now better support AVAX, HERESY, USDC, and CAVE paths between Avalanche C-Chain and The Grotto, including Grotto-to-C-Chain routed trades and clearer route displays.

Recent trades now keep loading

The trade terminal can continue loading filtered trade history as users scroll, so wallet and token selections show deeper activity instead of stopping at the first page.

For CAVE holders

CAVE staking is now first class

The app added a dedicated CAVE page for staking, WHERESY rewards, fee-split context, wallet-watch support, staking activity, and launch contract links.

Portfolio CAVE visibility expanded

Portfolios now break out liquid CAVE, withdrawable stake, permastaked receipt positions, claimable rewards, and C-Chain CAVE valuation with more useful ordering.

Public tokenomics were cleaned up

The tokenomics page now reads as a launch record with final supply, allocation, airdrop details, liquidity plan, fee settlement, and deployed contract references.

For liquidity providers

Concentrated liquidity creation is easier to understand

The CL add-liquidity flow gained range charts, presets, real liquidity bins where available, clearer one-sided range behavior, and better minimum calculations for minting.

CL launch safety checks hardened

Frontend and backend CL readiness now check deployed contracts, pool creation status, periphery wiring, and runtime flags before exposing creation paths.

Pool economics are clearer

Pool surfaces now present the 45 percent LP, 45 percent CAVE staker, and 10 percent buyback/burn split more consistently, including LP fee APR and burned CAVE context.

Platform and support

Market data is now the analytics backbone

New market-data endpoints power protocol stats, all-time charts, top pools, pair candles, holders, top realized P&L, portfolio history, and deeper trade filtering.

Support chat landed across the app

A wallet-authenticated support widget is now available with page context, optional screenshot metadata, and an owner inbox for replies and ticket status updates.

Security and worker reliability improved

Frontend, backend, contracts, and market-data dependencies were patched, while fee workers gained safer dust handling, fee-on-transfer support, distribution stats, and CAVE staker airdrop support.

Release coverage

Summarized from merged work across 6 CAVE repositories.
