Bitcoin developer pwuille has made vital contributions to Bitcoin's code, including BIP 32 (seed phrases), SegWit and Taproot. He still plans to take an active role in improving Bitcoin through various projects.
Belgian-born Bitcoin Core developer Peter Wuille is scaling back his contributions to Bitcoin Core. Nevertheless, he will continue contributing code to the project and remains a key player in the Bitcoin ecosystem, given both his influence in the Bitcoin community and his role at Chaincode Labs.
Bitcoin Core is the primary implementation of the Bitcoin software that connects to the blockchain. Open-source developers provide vital research, peer review, testing and documentation. A small group with commit access can directly access Bitcoin Core’s code in order to merge new code changes. Up until now, Wuille was part of this smaller group. With his departure, only four developers remain with commit access: Wladimir J. van der Laan, Marco Falke, Michael Ford and Hennadii Stepanov.on Thursday.
Wuille has made thousands of contributions to Bitcoin Core since 2011, most notably Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 32, which introduced seed phrases for storing and recovering private keys more easily; Segregated Witness which provided a new, efficient way of storing data in blocks; and, more recently, Taproot , which provided developers with a valuable set of tools to integrate new features that will improve privacy, scalability and security.
