Everything that has shipped on Orca Crypto, newest first. The site is written and rewritten continuously rather than published once, so this page is where the changes are recorded. There is an RSS feed if you would rather be told than remember to check.
What is new
Every entry links straight to the thing it describes. If something here is wrong or out of date, that is worth telling us about, and the contact form reaches a person.

Two Sui wallets reviewed: Slush and Vera
The wallet guide now covers Sui. Slush is the official Sui wallet from Mysten Labs, with Google or Apple sign in, a recovery phrase if you prefer one, and Ledger support. Vera is Bluefin’s all in one app, with swaps, perpetuals and yield next to the wallet. Both reviews say what each does well and where it falls short, and the wallet list now has fifteen entries.
See every walletA homepage you can find your way around
The homepage now starts with a search bar and the four learning levels, then eight shortcuts to the things people come for, and a map of all twelve sections with the most read pages in each. Market readings and the price table sit together, and the share buttons on every page now cover Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads and Bluesky as well.
Take a lookIntermediate, Advanced and Expert: three new levels
The learning path used to stop at the basics. It now keeps going. Intermediate is for people who already hold crypto and want to use DeFi well: reading what you sign, getting a good fill, liquid staking, running a loan and researching a token. Advanced is the machinery: AMM math, MEV, perpetuals and options, oracles, lending design and onchain analysis. Expert is for builders and researchers: consensus, signature schemes, zero knowledge proofs, rollups and data availability, the EVM and Solana runtimes, and smart contract security. Forty eight new guides, every one free, with a short check that suggests where to start and progress that stays on your own device.
Go and lookWhy the treasury is locked, written out in full
A page explaining why a quarter of the $OCX supply sits in a Streamflow vesting contract for a year, what that prevents, and the three things it does not: it does not make a price go up, the tokens do not vanish, and it says nothing about the holders who are not us. Every claim on it points at a contract or an explorer you can open without asking us.
Go and lookPaper trade any token from its own page
Every one of the thousand token pages now has a button that opens the simulator on that token real historical candles with play money. Same fees, same price impact, same liquidation prices, and nothing connected to a wallet.
Go and lookThe cookie banner is gone, and so are the cookies
Analytics on this site now runs cookieless permanently, for everyone, with no code path anywhere that can turn cookies back on. Since there is no cookie to consent to, there is nothing to ask, so the bar that used to sit at the bottom of every page has been removed rather than made easier to dismiss. We still see which guides get read; we no longer see whether you have been here before.
Go and lookThe trading simulator now does perps, futures and real charts
The simulator started as one invented market traded on spot. It now runs three: spot, perpetuals and dated futures, with leverage up to 1000x and the liquidation price printed before you confirm a trade. You can also point it at a real chart and replay genuine historical candles for any of the thousand tokens the site tracks, with the same play money. The invented news wire switches itself off there, because a made up headline over a real asset is a made up claim about it.
Go and lookThe chart goes full screen, and the pairs carry their logos
The simulator chart has a full screen button, which is the difference between reading a candle and squinting at one. Every pair in the game now shows the real project mark instead of a colored circle with letters in it, served from this site rather than fetched from anybody else.
Go and lookThirteen market meters, each with a page
Bitcoin and Ethereum dominance, alt season, fear and greed, the dollar index, stablecoin supply and every market total, read live and shown as a dial. Each one has its own page explaining what it measures, the arithmetic behind it, how to read it, and the things people wrongly conclude from it.
Go and lookTables now readable on a phone
Every table on the site carried a minimum width, which meant all 275 of them became a sideways scroll on a phone with the second column cut off at the screen edge. Below 720 pixels each row now becomes its own small card with the column heading printed beside every value, so a comparison is something you read down rather than drag across. No script involved, and on a wide screen it is an ordinary table again.
Go and lookThree accessibility failures
An automated audit against WCAG 2.2 AA found seventeen inline links that were distinguishable from the text around them by color alone, and two brand accents that computed to 4.49 and 4.47 against their own tinted background where the standard asks for 4.5. Links outside the article body now carry the same underline as the ones inside it, and the color function targets a higher contrast so every accent on the site clears the threshold with room to spare. The audit now reports zero violations across both themes.
Go and lookCompare any two of anything
The written comparisons cover 24 pairs. The wallets, exchanges and networks on this site can be paired 854 ways. The new builder covers the rest: pick any two and the specification table is assembled from the same records the written pages use, so the two can never disagree. Where a pair has already been written up with a verdict, it says so and sends you there first.
Go and lookThe site works without a connection
The guides most likely to be needed at a bad moment are the ones least likely to load at one. The safety guides, the sending guide and the site shell are now stored on your device the first time you visit, along with every page you have already opened. If your connection drops, those still open. Live prices are never stored, because a stale price is worse than no price.
Go and lookEvery page asks whether it helped
A yes or no at the foot of every guide, with four reasons to pick from if the answer is no. It tells us which pages are failing readers, which is the only signal that decides what gets rewritten next. No account, no cookie needed, and it remembers your answer so it will not ask twice.
Go and lookFive guides on the things that cost people most
Memecoins, told with the actual outcome data rather than the hype: about six percent of traders make money and the median one loses $120. Lending and borrowing, with a worked liquidation showing how a ten percent price move takes your collateral. KYC, and what really happens to the ID you hand an exchange. The 25th word, and why a passphrase is a way to lose everything silently. And what happens to your crypto when you die, which none of the three major US exchanges let you plan for with a beneficiary form. Every figure checked against a primary source and dated.
Go and lookSearch that actually finds things
The old search compared your whole query against page titles as one lump of text, so anything longer than a single word usually found nothing. Ten of twenty eight ordinary questions returned an empty page, including "how to buy bitcoin" and "what is a stablecoin", both of which have their own guide. It now understands separate words, knows which ones matter, and knows the terms people type instead of the ones we published, so "cold wallet" reaches the hardware wallet pages. There is also a real search page you can link to and share.
Go and lookPrinting a guide no longer gives you a blank page
A print rule written for the recovery sheet had been applied to the whole site, which hid the article on 472 pages. Anyone printing a guide, or saving one as a PDF to read later, got the navigation and none of the writing. Printing now keeps the article, expands the answers, and prints the destination of every link after the link text so a paper copy is still useful.
Go and lookHow we write, check and correct this site
Everything here is published by Orca Crypto rather than under a personal byline, which puts the accountability on us. So this sets out how a guide gets researched, what the build checks automatically, what the dates on a page actually mean, how to tell us we got something wrong, and how the work is paid for, including the conflicts that creates.
Go and lookEvery page has its own share image
Posting any page from this site used to produce one identical picture, which told a reader nothing about what they were about to open. Every page now has a card drawn from its own heading, section and color.
Go and lookAnalytics no longer sets cookies without asking
Analytics used to load and set its cookies the moment any page opened, for every visitor, with nothing anywhere asking. It was changed to start with everything switched off and measure without cookies until asked. Superseded on 15 September, when the asking was dropped along with the cookies.
Go and lookFourteen more chart patterns
The pattern library went from twelve to twenty six. New: triple tops and bottoms, symmetrical triangles, rounding bottoms, pennants, rectangles, ascending and descending channels, broadening formations, the golden and death crosses, and three shapes that really only get talked about in crypto: the Bart pattern and the two Wyckoff schematics. Every one has its own hand drawn diagram, a trigger, a measured target and the level that proves you wrong.
Go and lookLight mode is now the default for everyone
The site used to follow your device setting, so anybody on a phone set to dark landed on the dark version without asking for it. Light is now the default for every new visitor. Dark mode is still one click away in the header and it sticks once you choose it.
Go and look382 new questions across the encyclopedia
Every one of the 191 glossary terms now ends with two real questions and straight answers, hand written rather than generated. The kind of thing people actually ask: whether a private key can be brute forced, where a farm yield really comes from, and what somebody means when they call you a jeet.
Go and look24 head to head comparisons
Ledger against Trezor, Bitcoin against Ethereum, Uniswap against PancakeSwap and 21 more. Each one opens with who each option is actually for and closes with which we would pick, with the reasoning on the page so you can disagree with it. Where the honest answer is "these two are not competitors", that is what it says.
Go and lookAugust 2026
Structured data on 84 step by step guides
Every genuine walkthrough on the site, from setting up a wallet to swapping on a specific chain, now carries proper HowTo markup so search engines and AI assistants can read the steps in order. The pages that describe how an attack works were deliberately left out, because those are not instructions for you to follow.
Go and lookDark mode
A full second palette rather than an inverted filter, with every logo, chart, table and note block checked in both themes. The toggle is in the header and your choice is remembered. Building it also turned up fifty contrast failures in the light theme that had been shipping unnoticed, and those are fixed too.
Go and lookFourteen free tools
Position size calculator, impermanent loss calculator, unlock and dilution calculator, token safety checker, gas tracker, fear and greed index, a seed phrase backup sheet you can print, and more. No sign up, no email, nothing stored anywhere.
Go and lookQuizzes, badges and a phishing simulator
Test what you actually know across several levels, earn badges you can share, and run a phishing simulator that shows you the real attacks rather than describing them. The simulator is the part worth your time even if quizzes are not.
Go and lookFollow along
The feed is plain RSS, which works in any reader and in most AI assistants that can fetch a URL. Nothing is tracked and there is no email list to join.
Common questions
How often does the site change?
Continuously. Small corrections happen without an entry here. Anything that adds a section, a tool or a meaningful number of pages gets recorded on this page.
Can I subscribe without an account?
Yes. The RSS feed at /feed.xml needs nothing from you. There is no newsletter, no sign up and no email address collected anywhere on this site.
Do old pages get updated, or only new ones added?
Both, and the updates matter more. Every page carries the date it was last revised, and sections that go stale get rewritten rather than left to rot at the bottom of the sitemap.
Want the short version, in person?
Sessions are one to one. We can go through whatever changed, or ignore all of it and start from whatever you actually need to understand.
