In September 2025, delivered a new lazy signer verification feature for manifest swap paths, implementing on-demand signer checks and gas-fee refinement to improve efficiency and accuracy during market expansions. The feature defers signer validation until necessary, supports reversible orders, and ensures the payer avoids gas charges when market expansion is not required. This reduces unnecessary gas spend and prepares the system for scalable growth.
