  1. better

    A new dashboard

    • A cleaner, grouped sidebar, with Help, your page and a Share button always at hand.
    • Press Ctrl K (⌘K on a Mac) anywhere in the dashboard to jump straight to any page or setting.
    • The new Overview shows your username, aliases, UID and views at a glance, a checklist to finish your page, the last 7 days of views, and what’s new.
  2. better

    Better-looking badges, and a lot more of them

    • Every official badge was redrawn with proper shading and detail: a gem for Premium, a blue seal for Verified, a medal for the Top 3, a flame, a key, a beetle and more.
    • New badges: Helper, Gifter, Server Booster, Domain Legend, Winner, Second Place, Third Place, The Million, and seasonal badges for Easter, Summer, Halloween and Christmas 2026.
    • You can still recolor, reorder and hide any of them in Your info → Name, bio and picture → Badges. The new art keeps its shading when you change the color.
  3. better

    A new look for yen.bio

    • yen.bio has a new logo: a cherry blossom, with a new wordmark to match.
    • You’ll see it in the browser tab, the dashboard, link previews in Discord and other apps, and our emails.
  4. new

    OG for the first 30

    • New accounts get the OG badge automatically until yen.bio reaches 30 accounts, and keep it for good.
    • Recolor, move or hide it in Your info → Name, bio and picture → Badges.
  5. new

    All-new badges

    • Every official badge has new artwork: a blue check for Verified, a diamond for Premium, a shield for Staff, a wrench for Developers, a crown for the Founder and a sparkle for OG.
    • New Top 3 badge: a gold, silver or bronze trophy while your page is in the top three of the leaderboard.
    • New Bug Hunter badge for people who report bugs or security issues (tell us in Discord), and a flame for Early Supporters.
    • You can still recolor, reorder and hide any of them in Your info → Name, bio and picture → Badges.
  6. better

    Stronger one-account-per-person checks

    • A device that already has an account can no longer make another from a private or incognito window.
    • New accounts can’t be made through a VPN, proxy or Tor (Apple’s iCloud Private Relay is fine), or with throwaway email addresses.
    • Need a second page for a brand or project? Extra account codes still work.
  7. better

    The Help center is now full documentation

    • yen.bio/help now has a page for every part of the editor, explaining every setting: what it does, its choices, its default and which layouts it works on.
    • New Compatibility table: every design setting checked against all nine layouts.
    • New "Settings that conflict" page: combinations that cancel each other out, like a bio effect hiding your @mentions, and how to fix them.
    • A Troubleshooting page for the usual "why isn’t this showing" questions, and search that jumps straight to the right setting (press / or Ctrl K).
  8. fixed

    Music player and video fixes

    • Setting the music player to Top left or Top right now puts the full player at the top of the page. Before, it ended up in the bottom right corner.
    • A background video with "Play video sound" on always plays now, even without the click-to-enter screen. It stays muted until visitors tap through that screen, because browsers block sound before then.
    • The tips next to editor settings now say exactly which layouts each setting works on.
  9. new

    Two-character usernames

    • Usernames can now be just 2 characters long, like yen.bio/xo.
    • Claim one when you sign up, use your free username change in Settings, or add one as an alias.
  10. new

    A Help center for every feature

    • yen.bio/help explains every feature in plain words: layouts, links and blocks, Discord and Spotify, music, badges, templates, your account and more.
    • Search it with your own words, and copy a link straight to any answer to share it.
    • Find it in the dashboard sidebar and at the bottom of the home page.
  11. better

    One account per person, and a Privacy Policy

    • Each person can have one yen.bio account. If you need a second one (a brand, a side project), an Extra account voucher lets you make it: enter the code on the sign-up page.
    • When you give up an @ (remove an alias or change your username), it stays reserved for you for 7 days, so nobody can grab it the moment it’s free.
    • There’s now a Privacy Policy explaining what we collect and why, and the Terms cover the new Shop and Market.

  1. new

    Lyrics on the live Spotify card

    • The live Spotify presence block can now show the current lyric line underneath the track, synced to playback.
    • Turn it off from the block's settings if you'd rather keep it to just the track info. Not every song has lyrics available.
  2. new

    @mentions, a Telegram card, and flat badges

    • Typing @username in your bio now links to that person's page, with their picture, if they're a real yen.bio account.
    • New Telegram block: shows a public channel or group's picture, name, description and subscriber count, with a Join button.
    • New "Chip" badge style (Your info → Name, bio and picture → Badges) draws every badge as a single flat color instead of its shaded artwork.
    • Discord's "server tag" badge can now show next to your name on the Discord presence block — click it to see which server it's from, when the server allows it.
    • The live Spotify card now has a softly animated backdrop from the track's own cover art instead of a still image.

  1. better

    Special badges on the leaderboard

    • Some special badges now show next to a name on the leaderboard, right after the verified checkmark.
    • If you hide a badge on your page, it is hidden on the leaderboard too.
  2. better

    Recolor your badges for real

    • Changing a badge color in Your info → Name, bio and picture now recolors the badge itself (its shading and outline too) when it uses our new artwork or icons, instead of only changing its glow.
    • A badge you have not recolored keeps its original colors, and its glow now matches them. A new Reset link puts a badge back to its original colors.
    • There are 32 new badge designs (classic, seasonal and achievement) plus 80 icons that staff can give out.
  3. new

    Reset your design to default

    • Your look got messy? On the Publish step there is now a "Reset design to default" button. It puts the layout, colors, fonts, card and icon style, effects, cursor, background, avatar decoration and player style back to how a brand-new page looks.
    • Your name, bio, links, picture, music and sections are kept. Nothing goes live until you publish, and reloading the editor undoes the reset.
  4. new

    3D tilt on the Panel layout

    • The Panel card now leans toward your mouse as you move over it, a little more gently than After Dark since the card is wider.
    • It uses the existing "Disable 3D tilt" switch (Your look → Fine tune), and turns itself off for visitors who prefer reduced motion. It never runs on touch screens.
  5. new

    Crypto wallets as copy buttons

    • A wallet can now be a Button instead of a Card. It looks like your other link buttons, and tapping it copies the wallet address. Choose Card or Button when you add or edit a wallet.
    • Buttons do not look up a balance, so they load instantly.
  6. better

    Your Discord picture stays up to date

    • If you signed up with Discord and later change your Discord picture, your yen.bio picture now updates the next time you log in, instead of breaking.
    • Only the picture is refreshed. Your name, email and any picture you uploaded in the studio are never changed.
  7. new

    Crypto wallet cards with live balances

    • Add a wallet to your page from Your links (the wallet button). Pick Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin or Solana, paste your public address, and visitors see the coin, a shortened address, the current balance, and its dollar value, with a one-tap copy button.
    • Balances refresh every few minutes. You can hide the dollar value or give the card your own name.
    • Only use your public receiving address, never a seed phrase or private key.
  8. new

    Discord server cards

    • Show your Discord server on your page with its icon, name, how many people are online, how many are members, and a Join button. Add it from Your links (the server button) with a permanent invite link.
    • The numbers update automatically, so the card always stays current.
  9. better

    A new-look leaderboard

    • The top 3 now stand on a podium, with a crown for #1. Everyone else gets a cleaner list with a bar showing how they compare to the leader.
    • Avatar decorations show up on the leaderboard, verified accounts get their checkmark, and a profile picture that no longer loads falls back to the default one instead of a broken image.
    • It looks great on phones too, and there is a quick way to claim your own page at the bottom.
  10. new

    Tag your templates and filter by tag

    • When you share a template you can add up to 3 tags like Minimal, Colorful, Dark, Neon, Pastel, Retro or Cute so people can find it. You can change them later from My templates.
    • The Templates gallery has a tag filter. Pick one or more tags to see only templates that have all of them. The official templates are tagged too.
    • Tags show on template cards, the template page and in the Discord link card.
  11. new

    Avatar decorations

    • Add an ornament around your profile picture: a halo, crown, cat ears, neon or rainbow ring, fire ring, glitch ring, orbiting stars, floating hearts or petals. Find it in Your info → Name, bio and picture → Avatar decoration.
    • Pick "My Discord" to show the decoration you have equipped on Discord (it updates when you change it), or upload your own transparent PNG, GIF or WebP.
    • Decorations are part of a template, so shared templates can include one.
  12. new

    Six new cursor effects

    • Besides Glow and Trail, your cursor can now leave sparkles, bubbles, hearts, fireflies or ripples behind it, or be a ring that swells over links. Find it in Extras → Effects → Cursor effect.
    • They use your cursor color and turn themselves off for visitors who prefer reduced motion.
  13. better

    Verified checkmark on the leaderboard

    • Verified accounts now show a blue checkmark next to their name on the leaderboard (and in the Discord leaderboard card). If you hide your Verified badge, it is hidden there too.
  14. better

    Leaderboard link on the home page

    • The yen.bio home page now has a Leaderboard tab in its menu (and footer), so anyone can see the most viewed profiles in one click.
  15. better

    Smoother template links for new visitors

    • Opening a template link while logged out shows the template with a "Log in to use this template" button. After you log in or sign up, you land right back on the template.
    • A template that was deleted or is not available now shows a friendly page instead of the generic 404.

    Desktop 98 now boots like a real old PC

    • With the Desktop 98 layout, the click-to-enter screen is now a full retro start-up: a BIOS power-on screen, a cloudy boot splash with a progress bar, then a "Welcome to yen 98" log-on box.
    • Visitors press Log On (or Enter) to open your page. Your music and video start at that moment, and you get a little chime.
    • Press any key during the boot to skip straight to the log-on box. It is still controlled by the Click-to-enter switch in Extras.
  2. better

    Layout previews show the real styles

    • The little previews in Your look → Page layout are now pictures of the actual styles, so you can see what you are picking. The official templates use them too.
    • The Panel description now says what makes it different instead of listing widgets that work in every layout.
