What we just
shipped.

PaperTrench moves fast — most of these releases went out the same day someone reported the problem. Every feature and every fix is written up here in plain language, including what it does not do, because a trainer that oversells itself teaches the wrong lesson.

Features worth a proper read

The releases that changed what PaperTrench is — each one with the story, the mechanism, and the honest limits.

v3.0.0 Feature

Perps arrive — with the honest list of what they don't model

Leveraged paper trading on Hyperliquid and Jupiter, priced with the venue's own fees, funding and liquidation math — four numbers before every entry, and a ticket that refuses to open when the live funding rate can't be read. A liquidation can take your whole position, which is a different lesson from spot, so the notes lead with the seven things perps do not model yet. Plus market-cap alerts, chart take-profit/stop orders, Forge, and Turbo II.

v2.8.1 Fix Integrity

We shipped a build that broke the chain, and said so

v2.8.0 carried half an in-flight migration, and every paper fill on it failed to append to the attestation chain — the tamper-evidence layer the leaderboard verifies against. Wallets, balances and P&L were never touched, the failure showed a toast on every fill, and the gap is disclosed rather than back-filled: a chain entry written after the outcome is known proves nothing. Here is what broke, who it affects, and how the chain was rebuilt.

v2.8.0 Feature

Fresh launches are snipeable, and the rug guard

A 39-second-old coin no aggregator had indexed used to strand an armed buy forever. Now the bonding curve is read straight off chain and the buy fires seconds after launch. And a buy into a float held by ten wallets gets refused out loud — with the percentage named, because a vague risk badge is not information.

v2.9.0 Feature

The quick fixes live on the trading tab

A ✎ on the panel header opens presets, sell percents and your fee/gas/tip/slippage inline — without leaving the chart. And focus mode finally goes properly Axiom-compact: the preset chips are the buttons, and Enter buys.

v2.7.0 Speed

Terminal Turbo: every terminal, warm

Axiom, Padre, GMGN, pump.fun and Solscan all get kept-warm viewers — click through from one terminal and the next is already booted. Plus the half nobody demos: switched off, PaperTrench donates zero parsing to the page. With receipts, measured on your own machine.

v2.6.0 Feature

X-Ray: every coin an account has ever posted, before you click buy

Open any X profile and the intel is already on screen — every contract address that account has put out, bio and @handle changes counted separately, and the biggest accounts following them. Every counter says how long we have been watching, because nobody can honestly tell you a bio changed on a day they never saw it.

v2.4.0 Speed

Instant X links: 3.5 seconds down to about half a second

Vetting a coin means clicking its X link — and then watching a cold tab boot the entire X app. PaperTrench keeps one warm viewer tab and routes clicks into it as in-page navigations. Hovering starts the trip before you even click.

v2.7.0 Fix

The "instant +14%" is dead: fills land on the chart you are looking at

On migrated tokens the price feed could silently lose one side of every trade, filling paper buys up to ~13% away from the live chart — and booking fake profit that teaches exactly the wrong lesson. Two independent fixes, one of them belt-and-braces.

v2.1.0 Feature

The After: what actually happened once you sold

Every closed round watches its coin for the next hour and records the truth — observed extremes only, no interpolation. The most expensive guesswork in this market, and the number one revenge-FOMO trigger, replaced with measurement.

v2.5.0 Feature

The Flex Pack: share cards that can never pass as a real trade

A terminal-grade composer with your own backgrounds, honest USD sub-lines, and an After line no other terminal can print. The PAPER watermark is drawn last, by a code path that reads no settings.

v2.2.0 Feature

Fees & costs: make paper fills cost what real fills cost

Platform percentage, priority fee and bribe — the costs that dominate small entries and that zero-cost practice quietly ignores. A dust exit can now genuinely net negative, which is precisely the lesson.

v2.0.0 Fix Feature

Out of alpha: 139 defects published, 116 closed

We audited our own code in four parallel tracks, ranked every finding by how badly it could lie to a user, and published the register before fixing any of it. Then closed 116 with a regression test each.
