# SwapPulse v0.5.0: Complete project handbook and deployment documentation

Full release notes for SwapPulse v0.5.0.

This is a backfilled historical release from the preserved documentation checkpoint.

## New documentation

* Complete SwapPulse project README covering the Pokémon TCG, TCGdex, social/community, AT Protocol, Base44 and Cairo/Starknet layers together.
* User Guide.
* Project Architecture guide.
* Forking and Rebranding guide.
* Change Protocol.
* Node Architecture roadmap.
* Updated contributor guidance.

## Updated documentation

* Deployment guide now reflects the real Base44 + AT Protocol/PDS + always-on mini-server Starknet architecture.
* Developer onboarding now uses Cairo/Starknet rather than obsolete Solidity/Polygon assumptions.
* API/function documentation distinguishes current V2 paths from legacy compatibility code.

## Removed/replaced

* Claims that the whole platform runs exclusively inside Base44.
* Polygon/PulseChain-first instructions as the canonical Web3 architecture.
* Outdated wallet claims that were no longer representative of the live site.

## Transparency

The repository now explains that SwapPulse has been developed under human direction using ChatGPT and Base44 as core development tools, with security testing and deployment verification around the Cairo/Starknet layer.

## Why

The repository should be useful to collectors, contributors, infrastructure operators and people evaluating or forking the project. It should explain the whole product rather than treating the blockchain subsystem as the product itself.
