  • v1

    Same sky, louder type: Syne display accents, handwritten notes, app badges.

Four editions, one day. The identify route did not change between them; the last one changed what a buy leaves in your wallet.

ETF edition

Date
2026-09-04
New
One ERC-20 per object, minted in kind through a factory; the buy panel mints ETF shares by default; the vault lists your ETFs with a Redeem pill; an ETF card on every object page; this docs page
Contracts
PhotoswapFactory + PhotoswapETF (minimal proxies, no admin), created lazily by the first buyer
Fallback
Without a factory address the buy panel says so and swaps directly, as before

Everything is an ETF, literally now. A buy no longer scatters six positions into your wallet; it mints you a fraction of the object's own fund, backed by exactly those six stocks. Redeem and they are yours again. The direct swap stays one toggle away.

Street edition

Date
2026-09-04
Type
Syne for display accents, Caveat for handwritten notes
New
App badges for the coming iOS and Android apps, a Docs link in the nav, this docs site
Unchanged
Sky, glass, coins, the buy flow

The same sky, louder. Syne takes over headline accents, a handwritten face annotates the metadata rows, and the app badges show up on the home page. The docs you are reading arrived with it: twelve pages, every figure built in code.

Aero edition

Date
2026-09-04
Look
One continuous sky, frosted glass panels, glossy pills, company marks as coins
Motion
motion v13 springs, floating coins that react to the cursor, scroll reveals
Pages
Interactive supply-chain stage on scan, animated How it works, vault illustration

The Frutiger Aero rebuild. Bone paper became a sky; cards became glass with a glossy top highlight; tickers became coins. The design brief called it Windows Vista meets Google Lens, and asked that it still not look like an onchain product.

v1

Date
2026-09-04
Shipped
Scanner, supply-chain map, one-transaction basket buy on Robinhood Chain, Explore, object pages, Vault, How it works
Chain
Uniswap v4 routing with the custom minHopPriceX36 periphery, Multicall3 holdings, ERC-8056 share maths
AI
Four-model fallback chain through Vercel AI Gateway, strict structured output, 422 for non-objects

The catalogue edition. A big product photo next to the wordmark, a thin rule with a timestamp, a three-up row below the fold. Everything the later editions animate was already here, in bone and ink.
