Floresta’s Q4 2026 roadmap is out.
Goal: a welcoming project. Stronger tests, dependable CI, automation that gives devs time back and logs that explain what the node is doing. As code gets cheaper to write, verifying it matters more.
Catch the latest episode of the Ready for Merge podcast featuring @kcalvinalvinn and @Erik17192799!
They discuss the latest updates to the #Utreexo project and their work on alternative #Bitcoin client implementations, BTCD and @getfloresta.
Anyone with a >2Gbps internet willing to help us testing something? We don't need any particularly beefy machine, 8GB RAM/Disk 4-Core CPU manufactured after 2015 is fine (I think even SBCs will do).

Vinteum Grantee Spotlight: @Erik17192799
He spent the past year maturing @getfloresta into a secure, reliable, and reusable Bitcoin node implementation, while advancing Swift Sync, compact filters, and mobile performance.

Most people still don’t know about Floresta, a Rust Bitcoin node implementation that does full validation with a tiny footprint (Utreexo + pruning).
Useful for developers and low-power devices.
JUST IN: New bitcoin clients are hot these days — Floresta (@getfloresta) is a cool, lightweight Bitcoin client built on Utreexo

your bitcoin wallet has a fingerprint
the way it builds a transaction can single you out on-chain
so i built lumen to shine a light on it ✨
runs on @getfloresta, so anyone can survey the chain and get fresh data:

honorable mention to @Arminsdev
I've finished mainnet IBD using AV Swifit Sync in ~6/8, using my Pixel 8 Pro — ran it a couple of times and times varied a little bit.
The theoretic limit for my crappy internet (nominal 300Mb/s) should be around that. [1/3]
