Notes and record state

Record note

Launch is stored at year precision because Bitonic's current history states that BL3P launched in 2014, while a January 2014 announcement describes a private operating environment and staged public availability rather than one definitive public-launch day. The terminal exchange marker is 2024-12-20, when trading, deposits, and withdrawals stopped and balances migrated to Bitonic. The BL3P domain remains reachable only as a historical shutdown notice; live_verified does not imply active trading.
