Fourteenth Wave of Bitcoin Grants \ stacker news ~bitcoin

OpenSats is pleased to announce our fourteenth wave of grants from the General Fund, providing support to four first-time recipients and six grant renewals.

This round focuses on practical infrastructure by expanding access to test networks, making full nodes easier to run, improving transparency in Lightning payments, and reducing operational friction for ecash systems.

The four first-time grant recipients are:

Orchard

Floresta

Alt Signetfaucet

Lightning Detective

The six grant renewals will go to:

Cove

Stratum V2

BTCPay Server

Satsie's Pocket Guides

Daniella Brozzoni (@Daniela)

L0rinc

Each of these projects contributes to keeping Bitcoin decentralized, transparent, and user-driven, while ensuring it remains robust and accessible.

None of this would be possible without the generosity of our donors. If you'd like to help move Bitcoin forward by supporting projects like those in this wave, consider donating to our General Fund.

Invoice Detective is a Rust library and a service designed to deduce the recipient of a lightning payment. By looking at the details of the provided BOLT-11 lightning invoice and leveraging some knowledge of the lightning network graph. Invoice Detective identifies whether the payee is a user of a non-custodial wallet, custodial exchange, or something else.

Sounds interesting though! Could make a good post, I’ll leave that one to you.
