I’ve played with Neutrino, a light client written in Go for Bitcoin.
It’s a library used by the lnd lightning network node.
We can integrate it into NoM and unlock more use cases such as P2P swaps for example.

Another Bitcoin light client worth watching:

I’ve fully synced the nakamoto light client on Bitcoin mainnet in under 20 minutes on a Macbook with M2 Pro.
You’ll need Rust installed on your system. Steps to run the binary:
git pull https://github.com/cloudhead/nakamoto
cd nakamoto
cargo build --release
cd target/release/
./nakamoto-node

cool!
Could we use something like this run in the side chain that will work with SYRIUS and the P2P work @vilkris is exploring with BTC atomic swaps?
This took about 2 seconds to load.
Neutrino seems like a viable candidate for a LN node. Its fast header sync and GetUtxo function are valuable properties for our context.
Can nakamoto perform similar queries on L1?
Yes because it only proves/verifies the block headers. Nothing more, nothing less.
But we’ll keep an eye on them.
It is already integrated as a library in lnd. We can integrate it pretty easily in go-zenon.
nakamoto is the same thing. A library written in Rust. From what I’ve tested so far, it’s faster than Neutrino.
No only that, but you can also send transactions through it.
