# Changelog

User-facing changes to Youcognito, newest first. Dates are in US Central time.

Everything listed here shipped to the live app unless it says paused or ended. See [What's live right now](/youcognito-docs/getting-started/whats-live.md).

## October 21, 2026

* **Docs wording update:** clearer, plainer wording across these docs. Dollar figures were removed, the faucet, listen boost and survey are described as gifts while supplies last, and warning boxes were added to the feature pages. The $RCST quote-cast page is marked ended. Forge and nito sections now say details will be published after review.

## October 20, 2026

* **Ghost claim celebration:** after a confirmed faucet claim, survey gift or boosted claim, Youcog pops up to celebrate and shows the amount received. Tap anywhere or press Esc to close it. With reduce motion on, a still card shows instead.
* **Ghost share images:** links to the app now show a ghost preview card on X and Farcaster.

## October 19, 2026

* **Faucet gift amounts doubled (live):** the daily faucet gift is now **840, 2,222 or 13,938 YOUCOG** (was 420, 1,111 or 6,969), with the same 1.25x and 1.5x streak bonuses on top, up to 20,907 a day. The faucet's daily budget doubled too, to **500,000 YOUCOG a day** (was 250,000). The 100k listen boost and the feedback survey are unchanged. See [Daily faucet](/youcognito-docs/features/faucet.md).
* **Feedback survey (live):** a 10-question survey inside the app (about 3 minutes). As a thank-you, a one-time YOUCOG gift may be sent from the faucet wallet while supplies last. One per Farcaster account and per wallet, you need one faucet claim first, and only a few gifts go out each day. See [Share feedback](/youcognito-docs/features/feedback-survey.md).
* **nito DAO governance plan published:** nito voting points (proposed, not live). Details will be published after legal review. nito has no monetary value. See [nito DAO](/youcognito-docs/the-token/nito-dao.md).
* **Roadmap updated:** the docs roadmap has four sections: **Now (live)**, **Next**, **Later** and **Maybe**. The feedback survey is under **Now**. See [Roadmap](/youcognito-docs/project/roadmap.md).

## October 18, 2026

**✅ Live**

* **Remix on SoundCloud:** *Youcognito Theme (Remix)* v3.4 (3:20) is out on [SoundCloud](https://soundcloud.com/greentime1/youcognito-theme-remix).
* **Listen boost plays through SoundCloud:** the listen box on the faucet now uses a SoundCloud embed of the remix. Enter your address first, then press play. Background music pauses while it plays.
* **Farcaster app listing:** the launch button reads **Open Youcognito**, with a research-first description. Farcaster may take a little while to show it everywhere.
* **Easier to read:** bigger text throughout, so nothing on phones is tiny.
* **Better share previews:** the home page and the privacy and terms pages each get their own link preview title and description (they share one image).
* **Privacy and terms pages** in plain English, plus a site footer with Privacy, Terms, Contact, X, GitHub and Linktree links on every page. Softer, clearer wording on the faucet and the Farcaster cast button (**Open Youcognito**).
* **Final soundtrack:** the app now plays the finished *Youcognito Theme (Remix)* (3:20) with CD-style skips throughout, extra verses and doo-wop backups.
* **Phones:** fixed the page being cut off on the right edge on narrow screens.
* **100k listen boost:** finish the *Youcognito Theme (Remix)* to unlock a bigger faucet gift that day (100,000 YOUCOG), while supplies last. Server-verified, one a day. It keeps working if your phone changes networks mid-song.
* **Real buys only:** the ghost buy slides now show outside buyers only, picked from the latest 10 buys.
* **Interactive ghost:** a speech bubble with tips and real buys, a little ghost that flies to each feature and nods, square quick tiles (Run, Music, Hold 10M, Faucet, YouTube Short), and **Change ghost** to use your Farcaster pfp or upload your own (stays on your device).
* **Soundtrack:** an optional background track (off until you tap it). It now plays the *Youcognito Theme (Remix)*. The original theme is not in the app yet.
* **Top banner** with an animated spy ghost.
* **Youcognito Run:** a **Play Youcognito Run** card for the Remix game.
* **Halloween theme:** drifting ghosts, purple fog, spooky headers, a haunted claim button, ghosts and bats when you claim, burn static, a jack-o'-lantern, cobwebs, candle glow and a glowing moon.

## October 16, 2026

* **YOUCOG art (FLUX):** make an image from a few words. 10 free images a day, first come first served, 1 per person, resets at midnight Central. (Paused right now.)
* **Listen (Grok Voice):** have research answers read aloud.

## October 15, 2026

* **Get 10M YOUCOG in one tap:** in Farcaster, an in-app swap sized for about 10M YOUCOG at the live price; on the web, the Bankr trade page. A **Buy YOUCOG** button now sits on the faucet card. Prices change and can go to zero.
* **New to crypto?** A link to get Coinbase Wallet next to the Buy buttons.
* **Deep Mission reports** are cleaner: spaced, clickable sources and no stray footnote codes.
* Research runs on a newer, more efficient AI model.

## October 14, 2026

* **Fairer research limits:** each visitor gets their own mission limit instead of sharing one with everyone.
* **Research keeps working when AI credits run out:** Youcog falls back to a free summary from on-chain data, DexScreener and the web, and says so.
* Deep Mission gets more time for long reports.

## October 13, 2026

* **$RCST quote-cast:** a one-time launch promotion for Farcaster users, once per account. (Ended.)
* **Holder perks:** **Deep Mission** unlocks for wallets holding 10M YOUCOG, with proof of ownership, plus a **Holder** badge.
* **Public stats page** at [/stats](https://youcognito.com/stats) with its own share card.
* **youcognito.com** becomes the main address.
* **Streaks:** 1.25x from day 3 and 1.5x from day 7. **Leaderboard** of claimers and verified tippers, and **Share to Farcaster** after a claim.

## October 12, 2026

* **Youcognito launches:** private AI research in sealed tabs, burnable sessions.
* **Daily YOUCOG faucet:** a small daily gift of 420, 1,111 or 6,969, with fair daily limits.
* **Farcaster Mini App:** open Youcognito inside Farcaster and claim with your Farcaster account (one claim per account per day), straight to your connected wallet.
* **Support Youcog:** tip in ETH or USDC on Base.
* **Smarter suggestions,** including the faucet and a sealed Basescan tab for YOUCOG.
* **More reliable reading:** better error messages when a site blocks automated readers, and a Wikipedia fallback for research.
* Faucet and tip transactions are tagged with Youcognito's Base Builder Code.

## October 10, 2026

* **$YOUCOG** launches on Base via @bankr.
