What will happen with the old version

- All links to the old version will be correctly processed by the BCD2;

- The previous version will continue operating on GitHub pages;

- However, it won’t be maintained and will likely be broken by one of the upcoming protocol changes.

What is fundamentally different in the new version

- Everything has been rewritten from scratch and a backend has been added;

- BCD2 has its own indexer specialized on contracts and contract calls (not general-purpose);

- BCD2 is powered by Elasticsearch engine and thus allows making advanced queries to contract code, storage, and operations data;

- Personalized features will be available to users authenticated via social accounts.

Various improvements and bugfixes

Let’s start with the functionality ported from the previous version, and what has been improved.

Pick random

Our “I’m feeling lucky” button now redirects you to truly random contracts, not to one from a predefined list. Moreover, it is available in the control panel on the left, whatever tab you are at. It was and remains a perfect way to surf in the Tezos dApp space.
