🤖[ANN][BIS]Bismuth 2.0 - Beyond DeFi

[bit-signal]

This Bismuth Explorer has received an update. You can see the live application at Bismuth.im

Key Changes:
- performance gain by adding optional SQLite indexes (new indexes/ tools), which can be created/dropped anytime
- performance gain via new in-process caching (aliases, latest block, circulation, custom aliases)
- home page refreshed with separate Transactions and Blocks sections
- new pages: /transactions, /blocks (both paginated)
- new detail routes: /tx/<txid> (base58 or raw txid), /block/<blocknumber> (paginated tx list), /address/<address> (paginated)
- txid URLs now use web‑safe base58 (txref); search accepts both raw txid and base58
- /token/<tokenname> updated with paginated token transactions
- added JSON endpoints for UI refresh: /home_data, /transactions_data, /blocks_data

This Tornado Bismuth Wallet has been updated to version 0.1.47. You can download the app at Github!

Key Changes:
- Generate RSA, ECDSA or ED25519 based addresses from within the app
- Added /messages/ support for RSA, ECDSA, and ED25519 signing/encryption/decryption through the shared BismuthClient layer.
- Improved /messages/ error handling in TornadoWallet so backend failures show user-facing popups instead of crashing the request.
- Clarified the message encryption requirement in the UI: recipients must already have an on-chain outgoing transaction so their public key is available.
- Replaced hardcoded home-page news with local fallback news.json plus remote GitHub-loaded news support.

Tornado Bismuth Wallet has been updated to version 0.1.48. Download link is at Github!

Key Changes:
- the wallet now loads its interface even when no wallet server is reachable, instead of blocking startup on API connectivity.
- users can optionally configure their own API host and port
- added a one-click Copy Address icon for faster address copying
- updated the BIS token API integration with an active, working API endpoint
- QR codes for receive addresses are now generated locally, removing the dependency on an external service

The Roadmap Plan for modernizing the Bismuth Mainnet Node.
This is the high-level companion to the database deep-dive in 16-database-rework-plan.md; read that for the storage details.

Guiding Principles:
1. Consensus does not change. The same blocks must produce the same hashes and validate identically. The exact signing-buffer and block-hash byte forms are frozen in bismuth_serialize.py and characterization-locked; everything else (storage, transport, APIs) is free to change behind that boundary.

2. Replay-verified. Every storage/representation change is validated by re-hashing the chain end-to-end through the frozen boundary (replay_verify.py, tests/test_replay.py) and must produce byte-identical block hashes. No silent drift.

3. Incremental and reversible. Small, test-gated changes — not a big abstract rewrite. New behaviour is opt-in (config-flagged, default off) until validated on regnet and by independent replay. Old peers keep working.

4. Modernize at the edges, freeze the core. New, clean modules at the seams; surgical edits to the legacy monoliths; the consensus core is touched only through the frozen layer.
