- **Wallet 10101 beta testing pooling funds between LN and DLCs:**
36+
10101 announced a [wallet][10101 github] built with LDK and BDK that allows users to trade
37+
derivatives non-custodially using [DLCs][topic dlc] in an [offchain contract][10101 blog2]
38+
that can also be used to send, receive, and forward LN payments. The DLCs rely
39+
on oracles that use [adaptor signatures][topic adaptor signatures] for price
40+
[attestation][10101 blog1].
41+
42+
- **LDK Node announced:**
43+
The LDK team [announced][ldk blog] LDK Node [v0.1.0][LDK Node v0.1.0]. LDK Node is a
44+
Lightning node Rust library that uses the LDK and BDK libraries to enable developers
45+
to quickly setup a self-custodial Lightning node while still providing a high degree of
46+
customization for different use cases.
47+
48+
- **Payjoin SDK announced:**
49+
[Payjoin Dev Kit (PDK)][PDK github] was [announced][PDK blog] as a Rust
50+
library that implements [BIP78][] for use in wallets and services that wish to
51+
integrate [payjoin][topic payjoin] functionality.
52+
53+
- **Validating Lightning Signer (VLS) beta announced:**
54+
VLS allows the separation of a Lightning node from the keys that control its
55+
funds. A Lightning node running with VLS will route signing requests to a
56+
remote signing device instead of local keys. The [beta release][VLS gitlab]
57+
supports CLN and LDK, layer-1 and layer-2 validation rules, backup/recovery
58+
capabilities, and provides a reference implementation. The [blog
59+
post][VLS blog] announcement also calls for testing, feature requests, and feedback from the community.
60+
61+
- **BitGo adds MuSig2 support:**
62+
BitGo [announced][bitgo blog] support for [BIP327][] ([MuSig2][topic musig])
63+
and noted the reduced fees and additional privacy compared to their other
64+
supported address types.
65+
66+
- **Peach adds RBF support:**
67+
The [Peach Bitcoin][peach website] mobile application for peer-to-peer
68+
exchange [announced][peach tweet] support for [Replace-By-Fee (RBF)][topic rbf] fee bumping.
69+
70+
- **Phoenix wallet adds splicing support:**
71+
ACINQ [announced][acinq blog] beta testing for the next version of their
72+
Phoenix mobile Lightning wallet. The wallet supports a single dynamic channel
73+
that is rebalanced using [splicing][topic splicing] and
74+
a mechanism similar to the [swap-in-potentiam][news233 sip] technique (see
75+
[Podcast #259][pod259 phoenix]).
76+
77+
- **Mining Development Kit call for feedback:**
78+
The team working on the Mining Development Kit (MDK) has [posted an update][MDK blog] on their
79+
progress to develop hardware, software, and firmware for Bitcoin mining systems. The post
80+
calls for feedback from the community about use cases, scope, and approach.
81+
82+
- **Binance adds Lightning support:**
83+
Binance [announced][binance blog] support for sending (withdrawals) and
84+
receiving (deposits) using the Lightning Network.
85+
86+
- **Nunchuk adds CPFP support:**
87+
Nunchuk [announced][nunchuk blog] support for [Child-Pays-For-Parent
88+
(CPFP)][topic cpfp] fee bumping for both senders and receivers of a transaction.
