How this service works
Bitcoin protocol and software changes as JSON: Bitcoin Core merges and releases, BIP updates, Lightning spec and implementation changes. Each item has status (proposal, merged, released, activated), layer (consensus, policy, p2p, wallet), why it matters, what has not happened yet, and primary source links.
Output
A JSON array of Bitcoin technical update items, each containing: the change name/title, status (proposal, merged, released, or activated), protocol layer (consensus, policy, p2p, or wallet), a plain-language explanation of why it matters, a description of what has not yet occurred, and one or more primary source links (e.g. GitHub PR, BIP page, Lightning spec PR).
Example use cases
Weekly Bitcoin dev digest for newsletter
“Pull this week's Bitcoin technical updates — Core merges, BIP changes, and Lightning spec updates — and summarize what's newly merged, what's still at proposal stage, and why each one matters, so I can write my developer newsletter.”
Lightning implementation change tracker
“What Lightning Network spec or implementation changes have happened recently? I want to know their current status, which layer they touch, and what still hasn't been implemented yet.”
Bitcoin consensus change monitoring for compliance
“Give me a structured overview of any Bitcoin consensus-layer changes that are in progress or recently activated, including what hasn't happened yet and where I can verify the source.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://btc-radar.vercel.app/bitcoin/technical-updates?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, structured, and annotated feed of Bitcoin technical developments across Core, BIPs, and Lightning — especially when you need status labels, layer categorization, significance context, and source links in a single call. Prefer it over raw GitHub feeds or mailing list scraping when you want pre-digested, agent-friendly JSON without parsing overhead.
Side effects
