Catch-up recipes

Concrete ways to use ChronoBlock when the industry moved without you.

I was gone for a day

1. Open Timeline and yesterday's Time Capsule.
2. Skim Hot! if it is populated; otherwise scan Topics.
3. Open only the Topics that match your job.

I was gone for a week

1. Filter to your sectors (for example Security + Policy, or Ethereum News + DeFi).
2. Walk each day's capsule from oldest missed day to today — or ask Chrono Assist for a weekly wrap-up.
3. Follow the two or three Topics still live so you do not reconstruct them again tomorrow.

I only care about one ecosystem

Leave the feed on Bitcoin News, Ethereum News, Solana News, or XRP News. Add Policy or Security if that is your actual job. Ignore All until you want the firehose.

I need the story of one incident

Do not search five platforms. Search the Topic title or a unique proper name, open the Topic, read posts in order, then open related Atlas cards (the protocol, the people, the prior incident). Tutorial: Follow one story to the end.

I need an arbitrary past date

Open that date's Time Capsule. If you also want "what else in history landed on this calendar day," use Explore's On this day — that is Atlas anniversary cards, not the day's news capsule.

I want a briefing before standup

Sector filter → Hot! → the two Topics with the most posts → Assist: "summarize these Topics in five bullets."
