1.8.7
Solana Hub had three segmented switches and it has one. Chain is a single page now: the price chart opens it with no card around it, and the network the price is for, epoch, staking, throughput and supply, continues underneath, where a Market and Network switch used to hide half the answer behind the other half. Lookup had three tabs over three search boxes that all took the same address; it has one field that asks the chain what you pasted and opens the reading that answers it. The Wallet group calls its third section Swap.

Highlights
- 01
Chain is one page
Market and Network were two sections of one question, priced from the same 30-second read and answered in dollars on one and in slots on the other, so choosing between them only ever hid half of it. They are one scroll now. The SOL chart leads it without a card, a fill or a border, and the price hero and the three verdict cards that used to sit above the chart are gone.
- 02
One field, three readings
Explorer, Wallet and Token were three tabs over three boxes that each took the same 32 to 44 base58 characters, which asked the reader to answer a question the string already answers. One field takes it now: length alone separates a signature, and one call to the chain separates a mint from a wallet by the program that owns it. What it decided, and why, is stated under the field before the page changes shape.
- 03
Trade is Swap
The Wallet group reads Portfolio, Send, Swap, and the mint field above the desk no longer names one venue as its example. It still routes on the address it is given and still says which desk it picked, in the line under the field where that belongs rather than in the hint over an empty box.
Everything in this release
Improved3
- Chain merges Market and Network into one page, with the SOL price chart first and unframed. One updated and refresh line closes the page instead of one per section.
- Lookup detects its subject from what was pasted, then opens the account, wallet or token reading for it. A program account, a stake account or an address with nothing at it opens in the explorer, which reads all three and says what it found.
- The Wallet group's Trade section is Swap, in the rail, the phone bar and the header.
Removed2
- Two of Solana Hub's three section switches: the Market and Network pair, and the Explorer, Wallet and Token trio. Wallet keeps its own.
- The price hero card and the three cards under it at the top of Chain, and two of the three search boxes in Lookup.
