Onchain Panel
summary
Sustained maintenance consumes most development time—about 80 percent—with daily bug fixes, tests and GUI/network work keeping nodes running. New concrete features include wallet migration to descriptors and a compiler that outputs smaller Script than hand-written code, PSBT compatibility between hardware and software, a package-relay proposal to propagate dependent transactions together, and an encrypted P2P transport BIP324 to hide Bitcoin traffic; each is implemented or prototyped and needs broader testing.
