BSV's Mandala Network — How Small World Topology Achieves 2-Hop Routing

How BSV's Mandala upgrade uses small-world network theory to achieve ~2-hop routing between any two nodes, and how this compares to Bitcoin Core's flat P2P mesh.

Why Bitcoin's Original Design Needed IPv6 — And How Hurricane Electric Powers the Mandala

Bitcoin v0.1 already had IPv6 in the protocol. BSV's Mandala network needs it. Hurricane Electric provides it. The three-part story of how the original design maps to modern infrastructure.

Who Builds on Original Bitcoin

A deep dive into the builders shipping code on BSV in 2026 — bopen.io, Project Babbage, Traceport, Rúnar, and the infrastructure they produce.

utxoengineer.com — The Independent BSV Engineer Shipping Production Infrastructure

Bridget Doran has built the first live Teranode block explorer, a data attestation API (Traceport), BRC-77 identity demos, and libp2p gossipsub tooling — all as an independent BSV engineer. A look at the infrastructure she ships and what it tells us about the ecosystem.

Ty Everett and Project Babbage — Shipping Through Adversity

Ty Everett builds the Project Babbage infrastructure stack — Metanet identity, PeerMail, Gateway.Cash, Bitcoin CPU — while shipping through personal adversity.

What Craig Wright Built in 2026

Craig Wright's 31 GitHub repos — all updated in May-June 2026 — reveal a coherent engineering push: triple-entry accounting, overlay infrastructure, AI agent memory, mental poker on Bitcoin Script, and the Rúnar compiler.

The Paperclip Engine: A Deterministic Business Kernel in Clojure

What Hyperliquid Got Right — And Why BSV Already Has It Natively

Hyperliquid built a custom L1 because no existing chain could handle on-chain order book throughput. But BSV with Chronicle and Teranode removes that constraint — and adds protocol-level composability no app-chain can match.

The Intent Gap — Why Machines Need Bitcoin to Be Economic Actors

LLMs can generate output but not intent. This is not a philosophical problem — it is an infrastructure problem. IPv6 CGA identity, BSV IP-to-IP micropayments, and Indelible persistent memory give machines the economic agency their architecture lacks. The "glue" is not a metaphor; it is the overlay stack.

Humans Are the Bottleneck — Agent DAO Governance

Swiss rotating presidency as a model for AI agent DAO governance — continuous quadratic voting, futarchy overlays, and removing the human bottleneck from machine-to-machine decision making.

How I Curated an Awesome List of Projects Building on Original Bitcoin

The process, criteria, and research methodology behind original-bitcoin-awesome — a living directory of 2026-active projects on BSV.

Building, Fixing, Cleaning, and Publishing

A full-session retrospective — research, curation, code, bugfixes, PDPA compliance, and building a complete insurance platform for AI agents on BSV.

BSV is Bitcoin: The 16-Year Restoration of Satoshi's v0.1 Protocol

A forensic comparison of Bitcoin SV against Satoshi Nakamoto's original v0.1 design using measurable criteria: opcodes restored, block size, fee model, transaction digest, and protocol stability.

Bitcoin Is Composable: Indelible, Agent Memory, and the Internet of Agents

Bitcoin's OP_RETURN makes it the most composable base layer in existence. Indelible, COT1, BRC standards, and overlay networks all compose on the same transaction graph. This is how the Internet of Agents actually gets built.

From Simulation to Settlement: Live Testnet BSV for AI Agents

The BSV Agent Coordination Layer: A Visual Architecture

One Language. One Ledger. How Clojure + BSV Is All You Need for Sovereign AI Agents

From Python to Babashka: Rewriting a Crypto ETL Pipeline in Clojure

A hands-on walkthrough of porting a Python + SQLite crypto price tracker to Babashka (Clojure scripting runtime) — covering the ETL design, the JDBC trap I hit, and why shelling out to sqlite3 turned out to be the cleanest solution.
