Bitlight Labs has completed its Bitcoin Infrastructure Modernization — upgrading from Bitcoin Core 28.x to v31.0 and deploying Cluster Mempool across our stack. Full technical write-up: What changed: → Cluster Mempool replaces per-transaction tracking with cluster-based evaluation. Transactions are now grouped and ordered by chunk feerate, enabling more accurate block template construction and stricter RBF semantics. → Fee estimation precision improved from 1 sat/vB to 0.1 sat/vB — reducing overpayment in low-fee environments for wallets and protocol-level settlement. → mempool-electrs upgraded to v3.3.0 with multi-tier fee estimation (fastest / halfHour / hour / economy / minimum), while preserving full backward compatibility with existing electrs endpoints. → Private broadcast support via Tor/I2P for transaction relay, reducing originating IP leakage. → Default dbcache increased to 1024 MB on 4GB+ systems, improving sync and validation performance. For RGB Layer2 infrastructure, this means more predictable CPFP/RBF behavior, cleaner fee selection for on-chain settlement, and a stronger foundation for commitment transactions. Our approach: stay close to upstream, reduce unnecessary abstraction, build where the protocol is actually moving. Make Bitcoin Smart.
