1.6.0
A screener is not a document, and until now only one app in the OS knew it. The structure DEX Screener was rebuilt around, a rail that scopes, ribbons stacking from broadest scope to narrowest, and one dense board taking every pixel left, turned out to be the general shape rather than a one-off, so it is now a vocabulary the whole system shares and Hexscreener speaks it too: learn one screener's rail and control bar and you already know the next one's. The other half of the release is Portfolio's automation growing a lifecycle. A rule is a draft until you start it, starting is what opens the window, and a creator watch that used to buy its target's entire back catalogue the moment it woke up now begins from the newest thing it can see. Exits stop being a percentage picked in advance and become one of six mechanisms with a ratcheting break-even stop underneath. Elsewhere: a token the aggregator cannot route is tradable again through its own deepest pool, and an address that matches nothing is finally answered by the OS rather than by a bare error page.

Highlights
- 01
Every screener is the same instrument
The rail, the stacking ribbons, the aggregate strip, the control bar and the full-bleed board were written for DEX Screener and are now a shared vocabulary rather than one app's furniture. Hexscreener is rebuilt on it, and because it is the only screener here whose universe spans three unrelated markets, its rail scopes by market first and chain second while its ribbon offers named screens. Nothing is centred and nothing is capped at a reading width: a grid of numbers wants the opposite of what a page of prose wants.
- 02
The layout reads the window, not the display
These apps live in windows you can drag to any size, so a layout that asks the display how wide it is answers a question nobody asked. Every screener now measures its own window instead, which gives the rail three honest states, labelled, icon-only, and gone with tabs taking over, chosen by the room the window actually has. A narrow window on a wide monitor now gets the narrow layout.
- 03
Automation you start, not automation that starts itself
Saving a form used to be indistinguishable from arming a rule. Rules are now created as drafts, and Start, Pause, Resume, Stop, Edit and Delete are things you do on purpose, with Start being the moment the window opens. This is also what closes the worst bug in the feature: a new creator watch had no sense of where to begin, so the first time it looked it was handed the creator's whole history and bought launches from months ago as though they had just minted.
- 04
Exits with a mechanism instead of a number
A single take-profit percentage decided before the trade cannot express the two things people actually want, which are to bank something and to stay in. There are now six mechanisms, single target, half-and-trail, ladder, moonbag, pure trail and a target that decays as the move ages, over a break-even stop that ratchets up and never back. Five named presets sit on top, each stating plainly what it gives up, because every one of these trades a worse average for a better floor or the reverse.
- 05
No route is not the same as no venue
Buying a token the aggregator does not index used to be a dead end, with the token's own pool sitting in the picker directly above the error, so you had to already know that "no route available" meant "pin a venue". Two things changed. The search for pools stopped looking up whichever side you were paying with, which for a buy is SOL, whose pools are the busiest on the chain and never the pair you asked about. And the error now offers the deepest pool you can trade against directly as one click. It is offered, not applied: which venue the funds cross stays the user's decision.
Everything in this release
New9
- A screener vocabulary shared across the OS, rail, ribbons, aggregate strip, control bar and full-bleed board, so DEX Screener and Hexscreener are one instrument in two universes rather than two lookalikes maintained apart.
- Hexscreener rebuilt on that layout: the rail scopes by market and then by chain, the ribbon offers named screens, and the number of matches is on screen at all times instead of behind a Filters button that pushed the results sideways.
- DEX Screener's board carries a rank number, a chain-dotted token identity cell and all four momentum windows side by side under a sticky header, with columns revealed in priority order and the active timeframe always among them.
- Six take-profit mechanisms for automated exits, single target, half-and-trail, ladder, moonbag, pure trail and decaying target, with a ratcheting break-even stop and five named presets that each state what they give up.
- An explicit lifecycle for automation rules: Start, Pause, Resume, Stop, Edit and Delete. Saving a form creates a draft and arms nothing.
- One page-level signing switch, manual prompts every order and automatic signs on its own, with a per-rule override for the rules that want a different answer, decided in a single place rather than per screen.
- A two-row Portfolio header carrying total value across every tab, tab badges with a live indicator while automation runs, price freshness, and keyboard navigation (1–5, /, R, Escape).
- When the aggregator returns no route, the deepest pool you can trade against directly is offered beneath the error as a single click rather than left for the user to find in the venue picker.
- A 404 screen staged as the OS, with wallpaper, menu bar and a Finder window naming the address that missed, offering the desktop, the changelog and the current release as the ways back out, and following the desktop theme like every other surface.
Improved6
- Every screener lays itself out by its own window rather than the display, so the rail's three states, labelled, icon-only and replaced by tabs, follow the space the window has rather than the size of the monitor it happens to be on.
- Metas arrive with the screener instead of on demand, so the ribbon is a fixture rather than a tab to go and find.
- DEX Screener's analytics move behind a control-bar toggle, so the board owns the fold and the numbers people came for are the numbers on screen.
- Everything Portfolio sends to a connected wallet, manual or automated, now takes the same path and reports failure the same way.
- Resuming a paused rule starts it again from the present, so a pause costs you the launches that happened during it rather than replaying them as a burst the moment you come back.
- Reloading brings watching rules back paused rather than silently resuming from a starting point that has gone stale in the meantime.
Fixed4
- Watching a creator bought their back catalogue. A new rule had no sense of where to begin, so the first time it looked it received the creator's history with no way to tell it from a coin minted a second ago. A rule now reads the creator's newest activity before it starts, refuses to run without one, and drops anything older than the window as a second check.
- Buying a token through its own pool found no venues, while selling the same token worked. The search looked up whichever side you were paying with, SOL for a buy, whose pools are the busiest on the chain and never the specific pair. It now reads the side that is not a currency you pay in, and a token-to-token pair reads both sides and merges them.
- Every release page reported "not found" on the live site while working perfectly in development. The pages are served correctly now.
- An address matching nothing at all landed on a bare, unstyled "This page could not be found" instead of the OS's own 404 screen.
