How change history works here

History is stored on the merchant record itself rather than in a separate log, so a record and its history cannot drift apart. Each entry carries a date, an event type, a plain-language note, and — for anything that changes what a merchant accepts — a URL backing it.

We do not backfill. A merchant that has accepted USDC quietly since 2021 will show one entry, dated when we added it, because that is the earliest state we can actually evidence. Reconstructing a plausible history from press coverage would make this page look richer and make it worth less. Where a merchant has published a dated change of its own — Cherry Servers withdrawing USDT, Menufy switching crypto off — that date is recorded as the merchant stated it, not as the date we noticed.

Spotted something that has changed and is not here? Tell us, ideally with a link to the merchant page that shows it. Corrections are logged the same way and appear in this feed.
