Responsive behaviour
Core is laid out for the device in your hand, not shrunk from a desktop screen. The last full mobile pass was 29 August 2026.
On a phone
Section titled “On a phone”- Four fixed destinations (Home, Trade, Portfolio, More) stay within thumb reach at the bottom of the screen. Everything else lives one tap away in the More menu.
- Data tables become cards or lists at phone widths. Nothing asks you to scroll a page sideways.
- Address and amount fields open the matching keyboard. Address fields turn off auto-capitalisation and autocorrect, so a pasted or typed address arrives exactly as entered. This is a correctness feature, not a convenience: an autocorrected address is a lost payment.
- The fixed bottom controls step aside while you type rather than floating over the field.
- A dropped connection shows a notice and pauses live data. It resumes on its own when you are back online.
- Screens with a notch or rounded corners keep content inside the safe area, in portrait and landscape.
Filter sheets are drafts
Section titled “Filter sheets are drafts”On a small screen the filter sheet is a draft rather than a live filter. Apply filters commits every change together; close, the backdrop, and Esc discard it; Reset is itself a draft until applied.
This is the right behaviour on a phone specifically: a live filter on a small screen re-renders the list under your thumb between each tap.
Transitions
Section titled “Transitions”Hub to collection, market to market, and Back use a short cross-fade of 150 ms where the browser supports it. If you prefer reduced motion, or the device is in performance mode, the new screen simply appears.
Coming back
Section titled “Coming back”Press Back after opening an asset and the grid you came from is on screen in the first frame, at the same scroll position, with the same view mode, selection, cart, and the rows you had already paged in. It refreshes quietly behind you rather than showing a skeleton.
A quiet refresh, a purchase, or a new page of results never collapses a grid you scrolled through: off-screen tiles reserve their real height, so the list keeps its length and the scrollbar stays honest.
Performance mode
Section titled “Performance mode”On Save-Data, a slow network, or a low-power device, Core automatically reduces blur, animation, and off-screen media work.
Wallets on a phone
Section titled “Wallets on a phone”Only two of the five supported wallets can complete a connection from a phone, and they do it differently. See connecting a wallet. Core does not offer to install a desktop extension on a touch device, because there is nothing there to install.
This documentation site
Section titled “This documentation site”- Reflows to 320 pixels with no horizontal page overflow.
- Wide tables and code blocks scroll inside their own container rather than pushing the page sideways. The support matrix is 16 columns wide by design and gets its own scroll region with a sticky protocol column and a sticky header.
- Remains usable at 200% zoom.
- Uses relative units throughout, so the browser’s own text-size setting works.
