Building on BDK
summary
Announces a stable BDK beta 1.0 API with async storage and networking; reports real-world use: a web and mobile wallet using wasm in browser and mobile, a hardware wallet proof-of-concept with BDK running on an embedded microprocessor (NFC-powered) and ProtonMail’s backend wallet on BDK. Notes the storage and sync code is rewritten for simpler integration, planning/miniscript work for automatic spending-path selection, a compact block filter implementation funded by a grant in progress, and a foundation granting full‑time and project support.
