SATWEI summary
Babilonia, a proposal from Adam Gibson, dresses coinjoins up as onchain coin flips that look like normal payments from outside, though his paper admits the protocol's efficacy has no clear measure yet. Rob Segers' benchmarks put BlindBit Oracle v2 at about 2.1x the download of a taproot-only filter plus tweak data, in exchange for no false positives. LDK v0.2.6 patches a denial-of-service vulnerability.

A channel announcement naming the same node at both ends could crash Core Lightning 25.02 through 26.04 on every restart, at a cost to the attacker of only onchain fees; the fix landed in 26.04.1. Newsletter #429 pairs that disclosure with Oleksandr Kurbatov's protocol for multiparty silent payment inputs and Bitcoin Core's faster point releases for easily discoverable bugs.
