• Crossmark no longer requires a second signing step — uses public key from sign-in as session proof

• Removed Memos from challenge transaction (caused blank screen in Crossmark)

• Fixed methods.sign returning UUID instead of tx blob

• Wallet only shows as connected after auth token is stored — no more unauthenticated API calls racing ahead

• Fixed challenge colon-splitting — the challenge format meridian:address:timestamp:nonce was being split at colons, so only "meridian" was compared. The address-only fallback was masking this the entire time.

• Auth sessions survive backend restarts — valid client tokens are restored instead of rejected

• getAuthHeader() returns null when no auth token exists (was sending address-only headers)

• All prices now display with commas (e.g., $1,234.56 instead of $1234.56)

• XRP amounts formatted with thousand separators

• Applied across 14 files: listing cards, detail pages, admin, analytics, rewards, orders, disputes, profile, wallet balance

• Added font-cormorant alias to Tailwind config — 8+ files using this class were silently falling back to Outfit instead of Cormorant Garamond

• Removed address-only auth fallback (security hardening)

• Removed debug console logging from analytics

• Removed dead code: xamanWallet.ts, xrpl-utils.ts

• Removed redundant /orders page (profile already has order tabs)

- Search — find listings by keyword, category, condition, and price range at

/search. Filters sync to the URL so you can share searches.

- Order History — view all your purchases and sales at /orders with color-coded

status badges and filtering.

- Wishlist — tap the heart on any listing to save it. View your saved items at

/wishlist.

- Image Gallery — listing photos now display in a proper carousel with

thumbnails and a fullscreen lightbox with zoom.

Also hardened authentication by requiring cryptographic wallet signatures on

all requests.

Your storefront just got a lot more personal. Six new customization options are now available from your profile settings:

- Social links — add your X, Instagram, website, and Discord so buyers can find you

- Store announcement — pin a message at the top of your store (sales, shipping notices, anything)

- Store policies — share your shipping timeline, packaging standards, and communication expectations

- Custom accent color — pick from 6 color presets to make your store stand out

- Message seller — buyers can now reach you directly from your storefront

- Store SEO — set a custom meta description so your store ranks better in search

All options are in Profile → Storefront settings. Your storefront at /store/your-slug updates immediately.

- Pro status no longer resets — a reputation recalculation was overwriting Pro accounts back to "verified" after every transaction. Your Pro tier now stays active for the full subscription period.

- Crossmark payments work end-to-end — fixed transaction hash extraction and removed fields that caused Crossmark to show a blank signing screen.

- Reliable payment verification — the backend now reads the actual delivered amount from the blockchain, with tolerance for price movement between checkout and verification.

- All 5 wallets supported — Pro payment uses the same unified signing handler as marketplace purchases. Xaman, Crossmark, GemWallet, Joey, and WalletConnect all work.

The Meridian blog is live at /blog with three launch posts:

- "Pay for a $50,000 Watch in Dollars. Settle It in 3 Seconds." — How stablecoin payments work on Meridian without giving up escrow protection.

- "Own a Piece of a Gulfstream. Here's How." — Fractional ownership through Multi-Purpose Tokens, from $100 shares to quarterly income.

- "Your $125,000 Transaction Doesn't Need a Middleman." — Why protocol-level escrow beats every payment processor.

Also in this release: llms.txt for AI crawler discovery, SEO fixes from our Okara audit (shorter title, complete OG tags, target keywords in hero copy), and a performance boost from removing three unused font families.

Small but impactful fixes based on our Okara AI audit:

- Faster page load — removed render-blocking font loading. Text now appears immediately with a fallback font while custom fonts load in the background.

- Better Google results — shortened the title tag so it no longer gets truncated in search results.

- Better social previews — completed Open Graph tags with absolute image URLs for cleaner link previews on X, Discord, and other platforms.

You can now buy XRP directly on Meridian — no exchange account needed. Our MoonPay integration lets you purchase XRP with credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or bank transfer.

Click "Buy XRP" on the buy page, complete the purchase in the MoonPay widget (never leaves Meridian), and XRP arrives in your connected wallet within minutes. If your wallet is connected, your address is pre-filled automatically.

Pro subscriptions now come in multiple durations with savings for longer commitments.

- 1 Month — $9.99

- 3 Months — $24.99 (save 17%)

- 6 Months — $44.99 (save 25%)

- 12 Months — $79.99 (save 33%)

We've also added renewal reminders — you'll get an email 7 days before your Pro expires, plus a banner on the Pro page to renew with one click. No more accidentally losing your Pro benefits.

The analytics page has been completely rebuilt. You can now track both your buying and selling activity from one dashboard.
