Logbook 27/02

Big week on Sofia — we unified the transaction confirmation screen across the entire app, launched the Beta Season Pool (a shared vault funded by every certification), overhauled bookmarks with search and sorting, and shipped a major performance boost cutting the app's initial load by 535 KB. Page-level blockchain stats also got a full rewrite for better accuracy.

New Confirmation Screen & Fee Transparency

• One single confirmation screen for every action: certifications, votes, follows, trust/distrust, quests — no more different UIs depending on the context
• Real-time fee breakdown before each transaction: deposit amount, Sofia fees, and on-chain creation costs
• Quick-pick deposit amounts: 0.01, 0.5, 1, 5, 10 TRUST or custom input
• The feed and history now use this new screen with the full fee breakdown
• Like/dislike votes become support/oppose deposits — every vote now has real skin in the game

Beta Season Pool

• Every certification automatically sends a portion of the deposit into a shared vault: the Beta Season Pool
• A slider lets users choose how much of their deposit goes to the pool
• New stats card for the pool: total value locked (TVL), number of stakers, share price, and personal P&L
• Your position in the pool updates in real time
• Deposits below a minimum threshold are skipped to avoid unnecessary fees

Bookmarks & Echoes

• Search, sort, and domain filter on bookmarks and categories
• Redeem button to withdraw deposits directly from bookmarks or history
• Bookmarks section added to user profiles
• Badges now visible on the blockchain page with redesigned Trust & Distrust buttons
• Level badges based on on-chain level as source of truth

Page Blockchain Stats

• Complete rewrite of how page stats are calculated — more reliable, faster, and consistent
• Domain/page toggle to filter stats at the level you want
• Fixed a bug where some stats were showing 0
• Data now enriched with creation dates and associated metadata

Performance

• The 3D background animation is now lazy-loaded — 535 KB smaller initial app bundle
• Rendering optimized on 6 key components to avoid unnecessary re-renders
• Cleaned up unused dependencies and legacy code from the migration
• Certification values are now centralized in a single reference file
• Removed the +10 Gold bonus on certifications to eliminate double-counting with Discovery Gold

UI & Fixes

• "XP Gained" animation after certifications — instant visual feedback
• Redesigned metrics panel
• Colored pills for already-certified intentions
• Trends view and Leaderboard finalized
• Fixes: quest initial state, Pioneer badge logic, Echoes group loading, URL parsing edge cases
• Contributor count now displayed on stats views
• Reload button and quest highlighting added

Another dense week. The unified confirmation screen and the Beta Season Pool are foundational pieces that make every on-chain interaction in Sofia more transparent and rewarding. Onward.
