# 0.28 Previous Change Summary

> Balanced Exchange Framework (BEF) - Framework Version 1.0, 2026-08-22.
> Source of record: https://balancedexchangeframe.work/doc/v0-28

- Added the Foundational Balance Note: BEF is explicitly a framework for coexistence, balancing and preservation across different forms of value, not a replacement coin, fiat currency, exchange or winner-take-all monetary system.

- Clarified LANA as the first/reference implementation of BEF rather than the boundary of the framework; different assets retain their native identity, network, key model, Registrar, economic cycle and legal perimeter.

- Added the natural growth analogy: rapid developmental growth can mature into a stable maintenance phase while cellular/tissue renewal continues; the analogy is illustrative and does not claim biological equivalence.

- Formalised that Split-driven Growth Phase is a developmental mechanism, not an assumption of indefinite exponential growth or an endlessly repeated identical value-transition formula.

- Added P24 Cross-Asset Balance & Preservation Principle and Growth Phase -> Mature / Balanced State clauses.

- Added CP-59 Balanced Maturity & Stabilisation Pack; exact maturity trigger, number of Splits, terminal value and mature-state formula remain intentionally undefined until evidence and design are completed.

- Preserved the full 0.23 architecture, including P01-P24, BuyLana.com, native-coin eligibility, coin-specific Registrar and Balanced Split architecture, transaction-price bands, Nostr key alignment, CP-58 economics evidence, and EU/MiCA, UK and U.S. regulatory gates.
