Wavelength ships with a built-in MCP server. ⚡
One command to add it to your agent's config. 🤖
And like magic, your agent can send and receive bitcoin with Lightning.
Watch the demo.👇
Librería de Satoshi is now ISMOS 🎉
Five years teaching Technical Bitcoin in Spanish taught us this: language shouldn’t decide who gets to learn, and building Bitcoin well starts with its foundations.
A new name for a bigger mission.
Cryptography, math, software engineering, AI and critical thinking, in more languages and more countries, all built on the foundations Bitcoin taught us.
Wavelength is now live on mainnet! 🌊
Humans and agents can now send and receive bitcoin payments with the Wavelength SDK.
A few API calls, self-custodial from the first command, with no node or liquidity to manage.

How well do we understand the standards our software depends on?
At Vinteum’s latest Deep Dive, Bitcoin developers spent a week opening the black boxes behind modern wallets: BIP 32, descriptors, Miniscript, PSBTs, and hardware signers.
Here’s what we learned: https://t.co/HLSe3jFAKd
Bitcoin privacy is not binary. It’s a contest over inference.
In our latest Deep Dive, we studied the transaction graph from both sides: how chain analysts narrow the set of plausible explanations, and how privacy techniques keep more than one alive.

Release candidates for lnd v0.20.5-beta.rc1 and v0.21.4-beta.rc1 are now available.
Both are maintenance releases with bug fixes. If you run lnd in a test or staging environment, please try them out and let us
know how it goes.

Bitcoin Privacy deep dive underway at @casavinteum. What can’t we miss?
Any specs, papers, articles, mailing list discussions, or codebases you’d recommend we dig into?
Bitcoin open source is global. Brazilian contributors need to be part of the conversations where ideas are challenged, collaborations begin, and projects take shape.
Over the past year, Vinteum helped connect developers from Brazil with maintainers, researchers, and peers around the world.

What happened to the developers from the first Bitcoin Dev Launchpad cohort?
More than a year later, many are now working full-time on Bitcoin open source, supported by grants or engineering roles across the ecosystem.
A quick look at where they are today 🧵
Vinteum’s fourth year was about becoming a more durable organization.
Supporting established contributors. Helping emerging developers move toward sustained open-source careers. Strengthening the systems around that work.
The Year Four Report is out.

@thdxr I ran out of ram and swap several times bc the agent was trying to build experiments in that folder, causing it to grow until it eventually crashed
Running LND in production means knowing when to upgrade. The new published policy gives you that clarity.
Lightning Labs maintains the two most recent release lines, and both get security fixes. A line reaches end of life when the second major release after it ships, so support tracks releases, not a calendar date. Once a line reaches end of life, it gets no further fixes.
Run the latest minor of a maintained line to keep getting LND security fixes. As of today, the latest minors of maintained lines are v0.21.2 and v0.20.3.
