 The [Spiral](https://spiral.xyz) team has graciously supported BDK financially (and spiritually) for the past four years and since early 2022 the BDK team has let folks know what we've been up to via the [Spiral blog](https://spiral.xyz/blog/). As of last summer we are grateful to also have received a generous [OpenSats grant](https://opensats.org/blog/bitcoin-and-nostr-grants-august-2023) supporting our project. To keep our current and future financial supporters, open source contributors, and downstream users updated on our progress, starting this year we will be publishing a quarterly BDK project updates here on our blog.

 ### End of Year Review
 
 The BDK project is made up of a core suite of [rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) libraries ([bdk-*](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk?tab=readme-ov-file#architecture)) that work together to provide everything an application developer needs to incorporate on-chain bitcoin wallet functionality into their project. Wrapped around the BDK core libraries is our [bdk-ffi](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk-ffi) bindings libraries that let Kotlin (desktop/android), Swift (desktop/iOS), and Python developers use BDK seamlessly in their projects. And wrapped around all of this software is documentation and examples. For over a year the BDK team has been working on a major re-architecture of the BDK libraries to improve blockchain syncing, embedded device support ([no-std](https://docs.rust-embedded.org/book/intro/no-std.html)), update key dependencies ([rust-bitcoin](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin), [rust-miniscript](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-miniscript)) and finally to provide a stable 1.0 API that our users can rely on for their production applications.

 The majority of BDK rust library work this quarter was towards finishing new and improved electrum,  esplora and Bitcoin Core RPC (block-by-block) syncing APIs. Bug fixes and improvements were also completed for the transaction builder and other wallet APIs. Six bi-weekly 1.0.0-alpha releases were made ([alpha.3](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/releases/tag/v1.0.0-alpha.3), [alpha.4](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/releases/tag/v1.0.0-alpha.4), [alpha.5](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/releases/tag/v1.0.0-alpha.5), [alpha.6](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/releases/tag/v1.0.0-alpha.6), [alpha.7](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/releases/tag/v1.0.0-alpha.7), [alpha.8](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/releases/tag/v1.0.0-alpha.8)). For the quarter [54 PRs](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/pulls?q=is%3Apr+merged%3A2024-01-01..2024-03-31+) were merged and [55 issues](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/issues?q=is%3Aissue+closed%3A2024-01-01..2024-03-31+) were closed.

 - **Update `bdk_electrum` to use merkle proofs.** This PR is the first step in reworking `bdk_electrum` to use merkle proofs. When we fetch a transaction, we now also obtain the merkle proof and block header for verification. We then confirm a transaction is in a block only after validating it's Merkle proof.
 - **Upgrade of rust-bitcoin and rust-miniscript.** We upgraded our dependencies on these crates to the latest `0.32.0` and `0.12.0` respectively.
 - **Added examples.** We added examples and cleaned up our current example crates to help builders stay up-to-date on the latest changes.

 # 2024 Q4 Code Audit
 
 :lucide-pen-tool: &nbsp; [`Steve Myers`](https://github.com/notmandatory)  
@@ -6,6 +13,8 @@
 
 A heartfelt thank you to our friends at [Spiral](https://spiral.xyz/) for sponsoring a code audit of the current `bdk` 1.0.0-beta Rust codebase. The effort was led by [Antoine Poinsot](https://github.com/darosior) from [Wizardsardine](https://wizardsardine.com/), who did a fantastic job providing insightful and actionable recommendations for the BDK team. You can find the full report [here](https://gist.github.com/darosior/4aeb9512d7f1ac7666abc317d6f9453b).
 
+<!-- more -->
+
 As outlined in Antoine's report, the audit's primary focus was to review the core components that constitute a BDK-based wallet, particularly the new methods for managing and synchronizing chain data. The audit scope included some reasonable simplifying assumptions, such as trusting that the Electrum or Esplora servers to which BDK wallets connect are not malicious. However, Antoine went above and beyond and also recommended a few simple fixes we can do to guard against certain types of bad server behavior.
 
 While no critical defects were identified, a potential denial of service/performance issue was uncovered, along with opportunities to improve the code's fault tolerance and API documentation. The team is currently addressing the performance issue, as well as some of the more straightforward recommendations. All suggested improvements have been [added to our issues backlog](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Aaudit) for future releases.
