The number of LTC addresses is skyrocketing!
Open Source Litecoin is fully decentralized in the fact any one person could submit code into the network and as long as a majority of miners agree to that fork it will be implimented. This is similar to bitcoin.

Mimblewimble Progress Update Thread - May
Progress continues with the integration of Litecoin code changes into the v24 Bitcoin codebase. The month of May saw a major milestone with the resolution of all remaining functional tests for the pre-MWEB merge task. The code has been submitted for review here.

Litecoin MWEB transaction serialization and weight calculation issue
However, this serialization format seems to contradict with BIP 0144, which states: "if the witness is empty, the old serialization format must be used." also contradict the comments in the litecoin source code at https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/blob/master/src/primitives/transaction.h

Mimblewimble Progress Update Thread - November
In order to add MWEB support to PSBTs, I first had to merge in PSBTv2 (BIP-0370), which can be seen here. I then defined the MWEB fields we needed to add, and added them to the PSBT data structures along with serialization and deserialization here.
- Bitcoin forks
- Any reasons to hodl ecash vs Litecoin for instance ?

Mimblewimble Progress Update Thread - August
A pull request has also been submitted for downloading and verifying HogEx transactions, MWEB headers, and the UTXO leafset bitmap. This covers steps 2 and 3 of the light client sync process.

Daily General Discussion - June 18, 2023
Interestingly, this was mitigated in Geth v1.11.4 this March, so should no longer be a concern on Ethereum, though the authors note that forks e.g. BSC and ETC may still be vulnerable.
