Leonardo (@_oleonardolima) is a developer based in Brazil 🇧🇷, joining plebhash and Ansh among the first developers Btrust has directly funded outside Africa.
He works on the @bitcoindevkit, a collection of libraries and tools for building Bitcoin wallets.
He maintains BDK’s blockchain data-source clients, which help wallets obtain the information needed to track transactions and balances.
With the long-term grant, Leonardo will continue this maintenance work alongside developer mentorship, supporting both wallet infrastructure and the people building it.

Abiodun is a software engineer and Bitcoin open-source contributor based in Lagos, Nigeria.
His work focuses on wallet infrastructure in the @bitcoindevkit ecosystem. @_abiodunAwoyemi is a secondary maintainer of bdk-tx, a transaction-building library in the BDK ecosystem.
His contributions have covered many areas that directly affect wallet safety and reliability. These include fee calculation fixes, anti-fee-sniping support, Payjoin examples, CPFP fee-bumping support, locktime handling, BIP353 payment support reviews, PSBT creation, BIP322 message signing, and continuous integration improvements.
With the long-term grant, Abiodun will continue strengthening BDK and BDK-TX.
His work will focus on making Bitcoin transaction construction safer, more predictable, and easier for developers to use.
Abiodun also co-organizes @BitDevsLagos 🇳🇬, helping create space for technical Bitcoin discussion and contributor growth in Nigeria.

BDK (@bitcoindevkit) contributor Thunderbiscuit (@thunderB__) is now on stage at @btcplusplus Consensus Edition talking about Compact Block Filters for users and wallet devs!
Nice repo from @thunderB__ that will download all compact block filters (be careful doing this on mainnet because it will be 12GB!) and store them in a db so you can run queries and analyze the data

Today, we wrapped up the week 5 study group session of the Bitcoin CLI live cohort. ⚡
This week, participants took a deeper dive into Bitcoin Script by exploring Pay-to-Script-Hash (P2SH) transactions and script-based timelocks.
The cohort learned how P2SH makes it possible to embed more complex spending conditions into Bitcoin transactions, including multisignature and SegWit scripts.
They also explored how timelock opcodes like CheckLockTimeVerify (CLTV) and CheckSequenceVerify (CSV) can be used to control when bitcoin can be spent, enabling more advanced and flexible transaction workflows.
Through hands-on technical exercises, partner discussions, and collaborative learning, participants gained practical experience writing and working with these more advanced Bitcoin scripting features.

Too few people understand the bdk_chain crate deeply, so @_oleonardolima hosted a deep dive at Casa21 with our fellows and grantees.
We went through how @bitcoindevkit models chain data, transaction graphs, anchors, checkpoints, spks, seen-at timestamps, and the indexing logic that lets wallets reason about transactions without depending on a single backend.
These sessions are part of our monthly in-person technical deep dives, where we fly Vinteum fellows and grantees to São Paulo for a week of focused work: reading specs, reviewing PRs, studying architectures, finding bugs, and contributing together.
In-person protocol work is powerful.

Cross-platform bitcoin wallets are becoming easier to build with Flutter and bdk-dart.
In this talk, @john_osezele showed how developers can build Bitcoin apps for iOS and Android using the @bitcoindevkit's Dart bindings, using a reference wallet to demonstrate core functionality.
A highlight shared is that bdk-dart is currently integrated with the @BULLBITCOIN_ mobile wallet.

Meet Loupe, an AI-powered vulnerability scanner for open-source bitcoin projects. Attackers already use AI to find weaknesses. Maintainers should do the same.
Bitcoin Core, BDK, LDK, rust-bitcoin, Cashu, Jade, bitcoinj, and SRI are already onboard.

Adding @bitcoindevkit to Fully Noded is a huge security upgrade, the underlying library is built in Rust, which is memory safe. Libwally, what FN currently uses is built in C and is not memory safe.
This means an attacker would be much less likely to extract private key information from your device if they stole it and jail break it.
I am currently refactoring the signing logic and will be releasing incremental updates to phase Libwally out altogether with the end goal to make @FullyNoded as secure as it can be.
Another benefit to BDK is it is descriptor wallet centric, so is FN and Bitcoin Core, making it a perfect match.
On top of that, the kind folks at BDK expose the Rust functionality to pure swift meaning I don’t have to write a custom wrapper for the underlying code.
As the end user you won’t notice much, but under the hood there will be significant improvements in the coming updates.
The major user facing benefit will be full taproot and miniscript compatibility, with the caveat that you utilize HD descriptors.
v2.1.0 coming in hot!

it's gets more rad: an engineer from @blocks bitkey team contributed this specific code to bdk-ffi, that @thunderB__ then hustled to port to a different release for @peachbitcoin
@blocks <-> @bitcoindevkit <-> @peachbitcoin
free open source software.
Here is a shoutout to the @bitcoindevkit team and specially to their Android Engineer @thunderB__ helping us overcome the new requirements of Google Play in such short notice

Congrats @luisschwab_ 🎉 From our Bitcoin Dev Launchpad → Fellowship → now a year-long grant with @bitcoindevkit.
Love seeing alumni building their open-source careers and getting picked up by top orgs 🚀
We're excited to award @luisschwab_ a year long project grant for his work on integrating Floresta, a Utreexo-powered node implementation, with BDK, through the bdk-floresta crate.
Huge thanks to @Vinteum_org for their early support for Luis via their Vinteum Fellowship program.
