    Privacy-Preserving Bitcoin Light Client (by lightninglabs)

    I’m referring to this: https://github.com/lightninglabs/neutrino which is the reference neutrino implementation.

    The Parity Bitcoin client

    parity-bitcoin had shown little interest in using libbitcoin-consensus (which could be problematic when using it for mining/consensus) - https://github.com/paritytech/parity-bitcoin/issues/404 . SPV clients can avoid thinking about much of this. A Rust light-client might get some more uptake.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
