Node diversity isn't optional. It's the whole point.

    • Mission:

    • A lightweight and embeddable Bitcoin client, built for sovereignty.

    • Slogan:

    • Full validation without the overhead.

    • Type:

    • Full node

    • Status:

    • Stable

    • My comment:

    • Lightweight Rust node using Utreexo instead of the full UTXO set — fully validates consensus, speaks normal P2P with Core/btcd, much smaller resource footprint. Pre-1.0, actively developed by the same team now reviving btcd.
