Dr. Pieter Wuille, a Bitcoin Core developer and co-founder of Blockstream, a firm focused on building software solutions for the Bitcoin (BTC) protocol, has announced a new open-source project. Wuille’s new project will include contributions from other Bitcoin developers such as Greg Maxwell, Gleb Naumenko, among others. As explained by Wuille, the new project will focus on making improvements to “BTC transaction relay.” Wuille, who is known for being one of the most prolific contributors to the Bitcoin Core codebase, noted that the project would “not so much [try to enhance] block relay”, but would work on changes to optimize the transaction relay process.
