2.0.0

NORTH STAR

Design Studio arrives as the system's 17th app, a drawing canvas that pins finished artwork to IPFS. Clock's Markets and Calendar also move to local data for instant offline access, and Solana Hub's three search tabs become one field.

20 changes in this release

Highlights

  • Apps changed

  • 01

    Design Studio ships

    Draw, place shapes and text, manage layers, undo edits and export finished work. Projects can be saved as editable files or pinned to IPFS with the rendered image preserved as an image.

  • 02

    Markets and Calendar work offline

    Clock's market-hours directory and dated calendar move to local data, so both open immediately and remain useful without a network connection.

  • 03

    One Lookup flow in Solana Hub

    Explorer, Wallet and Token search become one field that resolves what was pasted and opens the relevant reading, with recent and popular lookups kept close at hand.

  • 04

    Pump.fun Explore

    A new first tab separates recent launches, coins still bonding and coins that have graduated, with every row opening directly into its trade view.

A major-version release: the Design Studio app, the Pump.fun Explore feed and market events all landed at once.

Everything in this release

New7

  • Design Studio ships installed on a fresh profile and takes the count of maintained apps from 16 to 17. It signs nothing and needs no wallet; the only network it touches is the IPFS provider you connect yourself.
  • Design Studio's project drawer imports and exports the editable scene as a .nft file, so a design moves between devices without involving IPFS at all. The tools sit in one dock, each on a single-key shortcut, and a Guide dialog on F1 explains them.
  • Pinning accepts binary. A pin can now carry a content type and a base64 payload, which is what lets a rendered PNG arrive at the gateway as an image; before this every pin was UTF-8 text.
  • Pump.fun's Explore tab lists new, bonding and graduated coins and refreshes itself while it is open. One 20-second cache is shared across the deployment, so the number of open tabs does not change the number of upstream requests.
  • Solana Hub's Lookup replaces the Explorer, Wallet and Token tabs. Its landing shows what a paste can be with a sample of each, plus popular mints and this browser's recent lookups, which skip detection because a preset is a mint by definition and a recent already resolved once.
  • The Clock's Markets tab covers forex sessions, commodity venues and bond markets alongside equities, with the trading day, the next open or close, and the London and New York overlap window. It is local data end to end and issues no request.
  • DEX Screener draws 31 bundled marks for narratives, chains and venues, matched under 67 names because the feed reports the same bucket as both a slug and a title. Narratives were system emoji before, which meant a different glyph on every operating system; a narrative with no drawn mark still falls back to the emoji, and a chain with no mark to its tinted dot.

Improved7

  • An installed launch opens straight to the desktop. A standalone window has no address bar to explain a marketing landing sitting in front of the OS, and the display mode is checked before first paint, so a fresh install on a new device with nothing in storage lands on the desktop without the landing flashing past.
  • The Stocks Markets overview adapts to the app window in three arrangements, and index sparklines carry a month of daily closes without making the page depend on repeated live requests.
  • The phone's system panel is grouped cards with inset dividers rather than a four-column grid of tiles. Almost everything on it is navigation that leaves for another screen, and drawn as tiles those read as a field of separate objects competing at equal weight with Control Center, which is a board of toggles and genuinely wants a grid. Only the four launchers and the four ways to end a session keep one.
  • Appearance is a segmented control in the phone's system panel, showing the mode you are in rather than the one the next tap would give you. The app pill in the island shows the app's name without its icon, which was already on screen twice over: on the thing that was tapped, and in the app's own chrome.
  • Hiding your address is one setting shared by the island's pill and the wallet panel inside it. Both print the same nine characters, so a toggle that covered one while the other kept showing them was not a privacy control.
  • Files opens Home on what Home actually holds, with Desktop and Recents in the rail beside it. Desktop is the one folder whose contents are already on screen everywhere else in the OS, and listing it as the single icon inside Home made Home look like a folder containing one folder.
  • The Stocks app composes its tabs from one set of shared parts, so the card radius, the tabular numerals and the green and red pairing are the same wherever a move is shown.

Fixed1

  • A venue that closes for the middle of the day reported Closed for the whole break in the Time Center, which is what Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai showed every afternoon of every trading day. The break is its own state now, in amber rather than grey.

Removed5

  • Documents and Downloads are gone from the filesystem; Home holds what they held. A tree saved before this keeps its files: their contents are lifted into Home on load and only the empty folders are dropped. Two system folders remain that cannot be renamed, moved or deleted, down from four.
  • Edit Home and Force Quit are off the phone's system panel. Both were the desktop's answers to questions a phone already answers with a gesture: the home screen is rearranged by holding it, and an app is closed with the back swipe on the app itself.
  • The island's ring no longer lights for in-flight requests. It counted every fetch in the app, which on a screen of live market data is a light that is on more often than off, and it told the reader nothing they could act on. The ring keeps the quiet glow that means a wallet is linked.
  • Solana Hub's Overview drops the epoch, slot pace and health readings. They answered a question about the chain's internals on a page about the token's market, and Lookup is where the chain's internals now live.
  • The external calendar feed is retired with the tab that used it.
