I recently joined Bitcoin News for a friendly conversation about Bitcoin Development Kit’s origins, mission, and where we’re headed. I shared how BDK grew from an early side project into a cross-platform foundation, powering wallets and Bitcoin applications across the ecosystem.

The second quarter of 2025 was an exciting one for the Bitcoin Dev Kit. With major releases, new libraries, a YouTube launch, and ongoing contributions from our community of grantees and collaborators, BDK continues to push forward the frontier of building Bitcoin wallets.

The bitcoindevkit team is hitting cruising speed after the release of the 1.0 bdk_wallet API. We are implementing a new release cadence of 8-week cycles, planning to do a feature release (1.1, 1.2, etc.) on these dates for 2025.

The bitcoindevkit team was very proud to release the 1.0 stable version of our bdk_wallet API in Q4! It's been a long time coming, and all that testing, reviewing, refactoring, and polishing finally paid off. Onwards! 🎉
