# 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.

### Other improvements
