Knuth v0.80.0 is live. 🚀 Big one: the Bitcoin Cash VM and script interpreter are now directly exposed through the C-API. Python, WASM, Node.js, C#, any higher-level binding can now drive Script execution step by step, straight from Knuth's core. This is the foundation for the Knuth wallet and for dApp development tooling, anything that needs to run, inspect or debug Bitcoin Script from outside the node can now do it. Plus: every chain, wallet and VM binding in the C-API has been unified around consistent handles and lifetime contracts, so language wrappers can rebuild cleanly without drift. github.com/k-nuth/kth/releas… #BitcoinCash #BCH #Knuth #WASM

🚀 Knuth v0.78.0 is out. This release is all about the foundation for our upcoming BCH wallet: 🪙 Token-aware coin selection — new coin_selection module with UTXO selection that understands CashTokens. 🔧 Wallet utilities & C-API improvements — more building blocks for multi-language integrations. ⚡ Emscripten upgraded from 3.x to 5.0.3 — our WASM builds now use the latest emsdk, keeping the browser-side library up to date. 🔗 github.com/k-nuth/kth/releas… #BitcoinCash #BCH #Knuth #WASM

Dev update : Currently exploring full node infrastructure that will serve as the core data layer for RabbitExplorer. Experimenting with Knuth after previously working with BCHN and Chaingraph. @KnuthNode @bch_1_official @bch

🚀 Knuth v0.77.0 is out — and this is a big one. We just brought our native Script VM back to the frontier. Knuth is the only Bitcoin Cash node with two VMs: • A native VM built for developers • The BCHN consensus VM (same code BCHN runs in production) 👉 Switch between them with a single build flag. 🧠 The upgrade: Our native VM was way behind. Not anymore. It now matches consensus rules through the May 2026 upgrade (we call it Leibniz, BCHN calls it Upgrade 12). And we didn’t just “update it” — we proved it: • 1,700 script test vectors • 23K BigInt tests • 165 VM limits tests All ported, adapted, and cross-validated against BOTH VMs. 🔬 Why this actually matters: This isn’t just another interpreter. The Knuth VM is built like a real debugger for Bitcoin Script: • Step-by-step execution • Breakpoints on opcodes • Full stack & alt-stack inspection • Per-opcode error reporting • Execution tracing through branches • Metrics: sigchecks, hashes, op cost 👉 This is the kind of tooling Bitcoin Script never really had. A foundation for debuggers, analyzers, and serious dev tooling. 🧪 Validation: Full IBD. Genesis → tip. ✔ Knuth VM ✔ No checkpoints ✔ Every script verified Result: zero errors 🛡️ Don’t trust it yet? Perfect. Run Knuth with the BCHN VM — and still get: • Modern C 23 codebase • Better networking • UTXO-Z improved DB architecture • Real parallel block validation (no global cs_main bottleneck 👀) • Multi-language bindings (C, C#, Python, TS, JS, WASM) 💥 Scale of this release: PR #188 touched 1,154 files Yeah… we went all in. 🔗 Release: github.com/k-nuth/kth/releas… #Bitcoin #Cash #BCH #Knuth

🚀 Knuth v0.75.0 released This update continues the low-level performance and infrastructure work: faster deserialization, Merkle root optimizations, experimental storage benchmarks, and more cleanup toward a leaner, modern core. Part of the ongoing effort to reduce technical debt and prepare for what’s coming next. Full changelog: github.com/k-nuth/kth-mono/c… #BitcoinCash #BCH #Knuth #Bitcoin #Cash

UTXO-Z development continues. We’re focused on scaling UTXO validation with real data, real workloads, and real performance gains. More soon. #Bitcoin #Cash #Scales

Sneak peek đź‘€ This is an early look at the new Knuth node interface planned for 2026. Still work in progress, but the goal is clear: better visibility, better tooling, better UX for node operators and developers. Curious what you think. Does this direction make sense? #BitcoinCash #BCH #Knuth #FullNode #CryptoDev

Adding cores shouldn’t make your node slower. UTXO-Z minimizes contention by design, so parallel lookups actually scale instead of fighting over locks. That’s the difference between “multi-threaded” and built for concurrency. #Bitcoin #Cash #Scales

UTXO databases don’t need to be “general”. They need to do only three things extremely well: • lookup • insert • delete UTXO-Z is built around exactly these operations — nothing more, nothing less. That focus is what unlocks massive throughput and real scalability.

33M UTXO lookups/sec didn’t happen by accident. Most UTXOs are spent shortly after creation, temporal locality dominates real blockchain workloads. UTXO-Z is built around that reality: fast, parallel access to recent UTXOs, without slowing down on older data.

Scaling Bitcoin Cash is not about blocks or bandwidth. The real bottleneck is the UTXO database. With domain-specific data structures (not general-purpose DBs), UTXO-Z achieves: • Up to 33M UTXO lookups/sec • ~45× faster than general-purpose databases ...

🚀 Knuth v0.74.0 released This version continues the modernization of Knuth’s core. A lot of the internal code dates back to 2011, and we’re taking the time to update APIs, clean up legacy pieces, enable network tests, and prepare a full rewrite of our P2P and IO handling. All of this is groundwork for what comes next: CHIPs 2026, UTXO-Z integration, and the larger performance work planned for 2026. Full notes: github.com/k-nuth/kth-mono/r…
