Cover for Changelog 2026.5

Over the past two months, work across Nolus focused on the surfaces people interact with the most. The nolus.io website was rebuilt around a refreshed brand and a proper blog, the dApp's leveraged-trading flow was steadied and given a new way to share results, the Solray SDK passed a meaningful milestone, a new internal governance tooling layer came online, and Nolus surfaces were made legible to a new generation of AI-assisted clients.

Web App

Share PnL card. Leveraged positions can now be shared as a polished social card showing the hero PnL figure, leverage row, branded logo, and a clean timestamp. Field-level toggles let traders decide what to include before sharing.

A steadier SHORT experience. The SHORT-position flow received a focused round of corrections. Position size now renders correctly in the positions list, fees route through the right asset on opening and adjustments, and a stricter pacing rule on fee lookups stays within external rate limits. The net effect is fewer surprises when opening, adjusting, or closing a short.

Faster governance, calmer reconnects. Governance proposals are now cached on the backend and tallied in parallel, noticeably shortening the wait when the proposals view is opened. The live data stream behind the dApp gained a reconnect watchdog and a silence timeout, so the interface recovers on its own when a network blip drops the connection. The network filter is now driven from the connected wallet, removing a class of mismatches when switching chains.

Legacy protocols visible again. Positions opened under protocols that have since been retired are once again rendered correctly, so users with long-held positions can see and manage them as before.

nolus.io

The public website was rebuilt across the cycle.

A new /blog experience replaced the team's reliance on external publishing. The full archive of fifty-seven past posts was brought back home with tags, alt text, and a sidebar topic navigation, and visuals were redesigned around a hero artwork treatment. Readers can now follow the blog via RSS or a dedicated AI feed.

A new /brand page was introduced, mirroring the official Nolus brand kit and making logo, colour, typography, and voice guidance directly available to partners, integrators, and the press.

The homepage gained a Watch explainer call-to-action that opens the full-length explainer video in a viewport-filling modal, giving first-time visitors a single click into what the protocol does.

Solray SDK

The Solray SDK, the trustless IBC implementation that lets Solana speak natively with Cosmos chains, passed a meaningful milestone. The IBC channel handlers were wired through both the send and receive paths for source and sink tokens, the on-chain storage layer for clients and connections was consolidated, and the rent and resize behaviour on Solana accounts was tightened. A first-wave BPF integration test harness was brought online, giving the SDK an end-to-end verification path on a real Solana runtime. The cycle's focus was foundational rather than user-visible, and it positions Solana as a first-class IBC destination for the user-facing flows that follow in the next releases.

Governance Tooling

A new internal service for preparing and submitting governance proposals was rolled out across the cycle. Proposal authors now move through typed wizards for contract migrations, swap-tree updates, LPP configuration, oracle settings, and protocol close-down campaigns, with AI-assisted title and summary suggestions and a Keplr-friendly preview before submission. The Web App's recovery wizard now surfaces IBC client status alongside the existing flow. For users, the practical impact is faster, more consistent, and better-explained governance items appearing on chain.

Blockchain Data & Indexing (ETL)

The indexer gained a gap-fill breaker and reactivation path, so brief upstream interruptions no longer leave stale or missing data on the dApp's balances, history, and analytics views. A partial-close residual reconciliation issue that could leave a fully repaid loan with a small leftover figure has been fixed, restoring exact position accounting. A new GET /leases/active-counts endpoint was added for integrators, and hourly restarts caused by queries against deprecated LPP contracts have been eliminated.

Agent Readiness

A cross-cutting effort made Nolus surfaces legible to AI-assisted clients. The dApp publishes an OpenAPI specification, agent discovery metadata under /.well-known/, and a set of in-page tools registered through the browser's Model Context interface; nolus.io adds matching robots signals, an llms.txt, and agent and MCP server cards; and the ETL service exposes its own OpenAPI and discovery assets. The practical effect for users is that the next generation of AI-assisted DeFi tooling can integrate with Nolus directly, through a documented contract, rather than by scraping the screen.
