Node implementation

Bitcoin Ghost mainnet — production
Incentivised Bitcoin node derivative. Decentralised mining pool, node reward system, Ghost Pay (instant private L2 payments), configurable content policy. Four elder nodes in production.
Rust, C++, ZK proofs, BFT consensus

Protocol

Ladder Script signet
Typed transaction format for Bitcoin. Declarative function blocks inspired by PLC ladder logic. 61 block types, post-quantum signatures (Falcon-512), covenant recursion. Includes QABI — multi-party UTXO aggregation under a single PQ signature.
C++, Python, Bitcoin Core v30.0, Falcon-512

Zero-knowledge

Hazync open source
Bitcoin script validity proofs in a zkVM. Runs Bitcoin Core's real VerifyScript, sighash and libsecp256k1 unmodified inside RISC0 to prove that transaction inputs are valid — every script type, no reimplementation. Reproducible guest, PGP-signed releases.
Rust, RISC0 zkVM, Bitcoin Core

Bitcoin Core Tools

bitcoin-buds Core v30.0 patch
Transaction classification. Four tiers (T0 financial → T3 heavy data) for policy-based mempool filtering. Three profiles: bitcoin_pure, permissive, full_open.
Rust, C++ — 37 tests
bitcoin-reaper Core v30.0 patch
Dead code detection for witness scripts. Inscription envelopes, data stuffing, unreachable code, fake pubkeys, excess witness data. Script flow analyser + opcode simulator.
Rust, C++ — 119 tests
bitcoin-shroud Core v30.0 patch
Transaction relay timing privacy. Random 0–5s delay before relaying to peers, breaking timing-based origin detection. Zero overhead when disabled.
C++ — 63 lines
bitcoin-exorcism Core v30.0 patch
Defensive block storage. Blocks validated in RAM, hazeable content stripped before disk write. Retroactive archive conversion. Legal compliance packet generation.
C++ — 2,400 lines
