Awesome stuff! I have a few cleanup comments but the content is super good.


Here are some of the notable releases and changes over Q2 to the software libraries we maintain:
- **The bdk_wallet 2.0 release!** Following on the heels of 1.0, we've released [BDK 2.0](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk_wallet/releases/tag/wallet-2.0.0) which includes a bug fix for handling stuck or evicted transactions, performance enhancements for large wallets, more extensive test coverage, and the return of TxDetails.
- **BDK CLI 1.0.** Our [command-line interface has reached its 1.0 milestone](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk-cli/releases/tag/v1.0.0), uses bdk_wallet 1.0.0 and integrates Kyoto, which uses the Kyoto protocol for compact block filters. It sets SQLite as the default database and drops support for sled.

In this case it's not really the Kyoto protocol. I would rephrase as "and integrates Kyoto, the new client for compact block filters in BDK."

I think some links to these companies/orgs would be cool and give them a bit of visibility (even though most people probably know who they are).
