In this week update by @tuma we feature the ongoing effort to migrate LDK from GitHub to a self-hosted instance, after the company banned the Lightning implementation from running CI. We also cover a new BIP being published, BIP95, which defines a new testnet to replace testnet4, and six new BIPs being assigned a number. In particular, BIP453, provides common terminology for transaction components, BIPs 455, 456, and 457 compose the specifications for the SwiftSync protocol for faster IBD, and BIPs 458 and 459 describe half and full signatureaggregation, an important building block towards CISA. Finally, we cover some interesting news from the Bitcoin ecosystem. In particular, we present some interviews from Nairobi, mempool(.)space (@mempool) joining the SV2 working group, and some useful information about how to protect yourself during the upcoming forks.
