Notes and record state

Record note
HEI models the exchange service as Loopring DEX rather than treating every Loopring protocol, wallet, and DeFi product as a separate exchange entity. The official site now states that Loopring has shut down. Death reason is voluntary_shutdown because the operator announced and executed an orderly termination rather than an external enforcement, acquisition, exploit, or insolvency proceeding.
