Product Update: Shift Platform v4.31.0 Release Notes

Shift Platform v4.31.0 is now live. This release reflects our continued focus on stability, delivery coordination, and client-first execution. While the core of this release is regression coverage and infrastructure alignment, it also marks the successful delivery of key deliverables for our top-priority partners. Packed with smarter controls, richer insights, and streamlined workflows to help you trade, guard and grow with absolute confidence, below are a list of key updates:

Key Updates and Changes

Version 4.31.0 introduces platform-wide enhancements designed to reduce friction, improve visibility, and increase control across all areas of exchange operations. From smarter compliance and security tools to a reimagined mobile app experience, each upgrade helps exchanges scale with confidence and deliver a better end-user experience.

Risk & Security Enhancements

Security and compliance are at the core of every crypto operation. This release adds smarter KYT controls and tighter API key safeguards—giving operators more control, lower costs, and stronger protection against misuse.

• Introduced configurable KYT filters (Address Cooldown, Notional Value, and User Volume-Based) to reduce unnecessary scans and lower compliance costs.

• Integrated HMAC Signing for API keys to defend against replay attacks and strengthen authentication.

• Improved IP address handling, added protections against unauthorized key reassignments, and introduced IPv6 support for IP whitelisting.

Pricing, Trading, and Reporting Flexibility

Operators now have more levers to fine-tune pricing, improve transparency, and support advanced integrations. These tools help brokers compete on pricing while offering deeper trade insights across the platform.

• Enabled negative markups (markdowns) on spot pricing strategies, allowing brokers to offer more competitive pricing than their liquidity providers.

• Renamed “Price” to “Limit Price” and added “Execution Avg Price” for clearer order data and trade visibility.

• Updated the Closed Orders Info modal with a new three-tab layout for deeper insight into trade activity.

• Extended the Instruments Endpoint with an optional 24-hour volume field for integration with platforms like CoinGecko and CMC.

Earn & Wallet Experience Improvements

This update gives operators tighter control over Earn workflows and improves end-user visibility. From vault automation to clearer balances and real-time webhooks, it’s now easier to manage rewards and user funds at scale.

• Added post-period vault behavior controls, allowing admins to choose between instant return or manual approval for Earn withdrawals.

• Improved Earn UX with countdown timers, pending withdrawal statuses, and real-time balance updates.

• Introduced Vault Deposit & Withdrawal Webhooks for real-time fund movement notifications.

• Removed dust balances in vaults and applied standardized number formatting for cleaner wallet views.

• Added a timestamp field to Trades Info and streamlined currency management permissions in the Back Office.

• Introduced quick-links dropdowns for faster navigation and per-group payment route controls for tailored payout logic.

Globalization & Communication Upgrades

Better language support means broader reach. These changes help global operators deliver a localized, intuitive user experience without manual effort.

• Launched localized error messages across the Back Office and Exchange APIs to improve usability for global users.

• Enabled multi-language email notifications so users receive system updates in their preferred language.

Mobile App Redesign (Stage 2)

We’ve refined the mobile experience from top to bottom. Operators and users benefit from a faster, clearer, and more reliable app that mirrors desktop-grade performance.

• Rolled out UI/UX upgrades to Orderbook, Navigation, Profile, Dashboard, Activity, Forms, and Popups.

• Added mobile support for creating and managing API keys directly in the app.

• Improved session stability with automatic JWT token refresh and streamlined Quick Trade history.

Impact of These Updates

Version 4.31.0 delivers foundational improvements to the Shift Platform, benefiting both exchange operators and end users.

For operators, this release introduces a more disciplined and coordinated release framework. The improved staging parity, regression coverage, and freeze controls lead to greater platform stability and smoother post-release operations. The delivery of key client-specific features also reinforces Shift’s commitment to partner outcomes.

For end users, the quality improvements in this release reduce platform disruptions, improve the responsiveness of trading and withdrawal flows, and support better reliability during high-volume activity. These backend adjustments translate into a more consistent and trustworthy experience across the platform.

Overall, these updates strengthen Shift’s infrastructure, reduce friction for operators, and lay the groundwork for upcoming features. The result is a more reliable and scalable environment for running modern crypto exchanges.
