"Revolutionary Update Set to Transform Bitcoin Development"

Libbitcoinkernel is an ongoing project aimed at untangling Bitcoin Core's code, making it easier for developers to experiment with changes to Bitcoin. By separating the "security-critical" code from the rest, developers can more easily implement new features, improving privacy, security, and usability. The project also has the potential to enable multiple Bitcoin clients, increasing network resilience and decentralization. Libbitcoinkernel is a long-term, iterative project that aims to extract the consensus code from Bitcoin Core, allowing for the development of alternative Bitcoin implementations.
