A new wallet designed for the next wave of Bitcoin and Liquid asset adoption
Bitcoin’s leading sidechain, the Liquid Network, is about to get a lot easier to use following today’s release of AQUA, a simple iOS mobile wallet designed for the mass adoption of digital assets.

Today, a patent involving the acceleration of cryptographic operations on elliptic curves has expired. Invented by Gallant, Lambert, and Vanstone, this technique is commonly referred to as GLV Endomorphism and can now be activated in Bitcoin Core in order to improve the speed and efficiency of Bitcoin’s signature verification.
A recent test by Casa co-founder Jameson Lopp revealed that enabling the GLV Endomorphism implementation for Bitcoin Core can make the network faster and more efficient by several notches.
Lopp tweeted Monday, “I ran 4 different syncs of Bitcoin Core to benchmark the real-world performance improvements offered by enabling GLV

Hardware wallet firm Ledger has rolled out its latest update for its mobile companion Ledger Live, rendering an additional layer of privacy controls for Bitcoin transactions.
The new feature, dubbed "Coin Control," allows users of Ledger Live to manually select which addresses and which portion of funds to
On Wednesday, Lightning Labs announced the addition of an accounting feature as part of the latest release of Faraday, a management tool for node operators using LND, Lightning Labs' implementation of the Lightning Network. According to Lightning Labs, the accounting tools were developed in response to feedback from business
Over the past two weeks, there have been fears that Bitcoin miners have become unprofitable. Early in the month, an image circulated online of Bitcoin miners liquidating thousands of coins, sparking fears of a so-called miner capitulation event.
Recent blockchain data, however, indicates that this is far from the case.
Bitcoin Core has taken a significant step forward in implementing Schnorr signatures by merging BIP340 support into the libsecp256k1 library. The update introduces an experimental module named “schnorrsig” that implements the signing and verification of Schnorr signatures as well as test vectors and a benchmarking tool.
Although this does not
It goes without saying that the concept of decentralized money and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are at odds. Hence, the U.S. tax agency has recently increased its efforts to crack down on tax crime enabled by Bitcoin and related technologies.
