## Editorial review

Long-running Bitcoin Core fork maintained by Luke-jr — same RPC, same chain, with additional policy options (mempool filtering, OP_RETURN limits, fee policies). For sovereignty-minded users who want a full node and finer-grained control than vanilla Core ships with. Open-source MIT.
