Ordinal theory concerns itself with satoshis, giving them individual identities and allowing them to be tracked, transferred, and imbued with meaning. Satoshis, not bitcoin, are the atomic, native currency of the Bitcoin network. One bitcoin can be sub-divided into 100,000,000 satoshis, but no further. Ordinal theory does not require a sidechain or token aside from Bitcoin, and can be used without any changes to the Bitcoin network. It works right now. ord is an index, block explorer, and command-line wallet. ...

Fedimint is a modular open-source implementation of federated Chaumian ecash designed to enable community-controlled Bitcoin custody and privacy-enhanced payments. It allows groups of users to collectively manage Bitcoin in a trust-minimized manner while enabling fast, anonymous, and scalable transactions through blind signatures. Built with extensibility and modularity in mind, Fedimint aims to serve as the core of community custody systems like Fedi and future federated finance applications. ...

Bitcoin–Monero Cross-chain Atomic Swap.

Stacks 2.0 is a layer-1 blockchain that connects to Bitcoin for security and enables decentralized apps and predictable smart contracts. Stacks 2.0 implements Proof of Transfer (PoX) mining that anchors to Bitcoin security. Leader election happens at the Bitcoin blockchain and Stacks (STX) miners write new blocks on the separate Stacks blockchain. With PoX there is no need to modify Bitcoin to enable smart contracts and apps around it.

Rust-Lightning is a Bitcoin Lightning library written in Rust. The main crate, lightning, does not handle networking, persistence, or any other I/O. Thus, it is runtime-agnostic, but users must implement basic networking logic, chain interactions, and disk storage. The project implements all of the BOLT specifications in the 1.0 spec. The implementation has pretty good test coverage that is expected to continue to improve.
