+## Why Brainwallet
+
+**Standalone, not a client of our servers.** Brainwallet connects directly to the Litecoin peer-to-peer network using [SPV](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0037.mediawiki) (simplified payment verification) — checking balances and broadcasting transactions doesn't depend on any Brainwallet-run backend. An already-installed copy keeps working even if Brainwallet the company disappeared.
+
+**Deterministic recovery.** Brainwallet is a [BIP32](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki) hierarchical-deterministic wallet — one seed phrase (paper key) recovers your full balance and transaction history on any device, forever.
+
+**Keys never leave your device.** Private keys are generated and held in the Android Keystore, not in Brainwallet's infrastructure — we never have custody of your funds and no backend path to recover them for you.
+
+**Built on open standards**, not a proprietary protocol:
+- [SPV](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0037.mediawiki) for fast sync without running a full node
+- [BIP32](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki) deterministic wallets
+- [BIP38](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0038.mediawiki) import of password-protected paper wallets
+- [BIP70](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0070.mediawiki) payment protocol support

+### **v4.10.6**  [PR [#253](https://github.com/gruntsoftware/android/pull/253)]
+---
+#### 🐛 Crash Fixes
+- **`UnsatisfiedLinkError` on `core-lib` load** — `BRActivity`/`SyncReceiver` loaded the native wallet library via unguarded `System.loadLibrary()` static initializers, crashing every screen on launch if the OS failed to extract the `.so` (a common install/update failure mode on some OEMs). Native lib loading is now centralized in `BrainwalletApp.onCreate()` via [ReLinker](https://github.com/KeepSafe/ReLinker), which falls back to manual extraction from the APK when the system loader fails.
+- **Ghost launcher icon crash** — the LibGDX game module's `AndroidLauncher` was accidentally exported with its own `MAIN`/`LAUNCHER` intent-filter, producing a second home-screen icon that crashed with `UnsatisfiedLinkError: libgdx.so not found` when tapped (it bypassed the app's real startup path). Fixed by removing the exported intent-filter.
+- **`BreadActivity` NPE fix (#248)** — removed dead bottom-nav/toolbar code left over from an earlier refactor that deleted the view-binding logic but not the code still referencing those views, guaranteeing a `NullPointerException` on every launch.
+
+#### 🧪 Test Reliability
+- Fixed a flaky `BWSender` reentrancy test that relied on `Thread.sleep()` racing real-time against a `StandardTestDispatcher` — replaced with deterministic `CountDownLatch` synchronization.
+- Eliminated a flaky `ShopBentoViewModelTest` (#250).
+- Removed a stale `modules/bw-gdlib` gitlink that was breaking CI (#249).
+
+#### 📚 Docs
+- Real `SECURITY.md` with an actual vulnerability disclosure process, replacing GitHub's unfilled default template.
+- Restructured `README.md` for external visitors/contributors (#251).

+A feature-rich release centered on the Game Hub / emoji mini-game experience and an MVI refactor of the main screens:
+
+- **New screens**: emoji pager/picker (`EmojiPagerScreen`, `PickEmojisScreen`, `YourEmojisScreen`, `HowToSetEmojisScreen`) and Game Hub bento screens (`GameHubBentoScreen`, `GameHubBentoPagerScreen`)
+- **MVI refactor**: `MainScreen`, `SettingsScreen`, and `GameHub` all restructured into Event/State/ViewModel patterns (`MainScreenEvent`/`MainScreenState`/`MainViewModel`, `SettingsEvent`/`SettingsState`/`SettingsViewModel`, `GameHubEvent`/`GameHubState`/`GameHubViewModel`)
+- **In-app review**: Google Play in-app review integration (`InAppReviewService`)
+- Design system, font (`Bolden Van`, `Lilita One`, `Open Sauce One`), and localization updates alongside the above

 #### ✨ New UI — Favourites & Tutorials Bento Sections
 **PR [#191](https://github.com/gruntsoftware/android/pull/191)**
 The main screen now features two new purpose-built bento panels replacing the generic placeholder container. The **Favourites** panel displays a set of coloured circular indicators using the app's design theme colours (affirm, info, warn, error) with full dark/light mode support. The **Tutorials** panel shows a "Coming Soon" placeholder consistent with the broader bento design language. The old `HomeBentoContainer` has been removed. String resources for both sections have been translated across 19 locales including Arabic, Chinese (Traditional & Simplified), French, German, Farsi, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Punjabi, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Ukrainian.

 **PR [#182](https://github.com/gruntsoftware/android/pull/182)**
 Unit test coverage has been significantly expanded alongside the send screen work, bringing the total suite to **309 tests**. New test classes include `AppModuleTest`, `SendStateTest`, and `BrainwalletAppTest`, covering the Koin DI module wiring, send state logic, and core app initialisation paths.
