Notes and record state

Record note
Terminal handling uses the 2022-12-02 public dead-side marker. Cause stays conservative as unknown because public status coverage only confirms inaccessibility and loss of operational signs. The original BQT exchange domain now appears repurposed into QNFT marketplace content while still retaining legacy BQT exchange text on some pages.
Revision state
Records may be incomplete, approximate, contested, or revised as better evidence becomes available.
This record may be incomplete or revised. Dead-side entries prefer archived URLs over original domains. Dates, causes, and classifications may change when stronger evidence becomes available. Contact / corrections
