 ## ✨ Key Features
 
+- **🔗 Correct RPC routing** - Legacy read APIs use `condenser_api`; chain/validation APIs use `database_api` (v1.0.16+, aligned with [steem](https://github.com/steemit/steem))
 - **🔒 Type Safety** - Full TypeScript support with complete type definitions
 - **⚡ Modern** - ES modules, async/await, modern cryptography libraries
 - **🌐 Universal** - Works in Node.js, browsers, and bundlers
