v3000.0.0

New fraud detection: BIN intelligence​

BIN intelligence enhances payment risk assessment at the moment of card capture. Real-time BIN lookup validates the PAN and returns detailed card information, including type, brand, category, issuing bank, and issuer country. This additional fraud signal helps customers identify high-risk transactions early, before the transaction begins.

Architectural shift: session-based API​

The legacy Recognizer architecture is deprecated. BlinkCard v3000 moves to a session-based model, decoupling scanning logic from the UI lifecycle and enabling a headless integration for custom implementations.

Epoch versioning scheme​

We are moving to an Epoch-based versioning system: (EPOCH * 1000 + MAJOR).MINOR.PATCH. This new versioning makes it easier for customers to immediately identify the impact of an update and plan upgrades with confidence.

  • EPOCH: Fundamental architectural rewrites.
  • MAJOR: Breaking API changes.
  • MINOR: New features, backward-compatible.
  • PATCH: Bug fixes.
