Notes and record state

Record note
Launch date is normalized to 2021-04-01 because available exchange references establish a 2021 start and first-party material shows public operation by May, but an exact launch day was not recovered. The terminal date is exact: the team announced on 2022-03-04 that all development would stop and remaining treasury and liquidity would be redistributed or left for withdrawal. The former official domain now serves unrelated gambling content and is classified unsafe; residual third-party metrics do not override the first-party shutdown announcement.
