Open licenses, post-quantum Script, training wheels off
The practical edge since the last check is legal and cryptographic flexibility — plus the same scale argument, restated more bluntly.
BSV Association has moved several developer toolkits to Apache License 2.0, including TS Stack, BSV Wallet, Go Wallet Toolbox, and the Python SDK. Main license files that previously restricted use to BSV Blockchain are replaced with standard open-source terms, so reuse, modification, and distribution sit on a more familiar footing for external developers and businesses. Historical obligations and patent notices still need to be checked package by package; the change is visible in public repos and in a published mobile wallet toolkit release.
On the application side, Metanet is previewing a post-quantum BSV wallet path: coins locked by a 2-of-2 of ECDSA (current Bitcoin) and SLH-DSA (NIST FIPS 205, hash-based), implemented in pure Bitcoin Script with no new opcodes and no fork claim. It is framed as landing beside an existing Tips wallet on metanet.page — a concrete crypto design, not a protocol upgrade pitch.
Project Babbage continues to call SVNode-style free perpetual chain scanning the “training wheels” that have to come off, with SPV and direct peer-to-peer exchange as the intended path, and points at ongoing wallet/token work (including BRC-207). That sits next to the recent BSV Wallet PeerPay restore safeguard: unfinished payments restored from backup stay on hold for review rather than auto-sending.
The current pulse is fewer lock-ins at the toolkit layer, a hash-based signature path that does not wait for a soft fork, and continued pressure to stop treating free full-chain indexing as permanent infrastructure.
