Yeah it'd be great. It's a Netlify feature though, and so I'm not sure how (or who) would set that up.

Looks good, have a couple comments.

Comment thread docs/blog/posts/2026_q3_update.md Outdated
- **Release 0.17.1 of `bdk-kyoto`.** [This patch release](https://crates.io/crates/bdk_kyoto/0.17.1) of our compact block filters chain source makes [`update` cancel safe](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk-kyoto/pull/163), so dropping the future mid-sync no longer loses data.
- **Release 0.3.0 of `rust-cktap`.** [This release](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/rust-cktap/releases/tag/rust-cktap-v0.3.0) of our Coinkite TAPSIGNER and SATSCARD library adds counterfeit TAPSIGNER detection and preserves the card nonce after an invalid signature. It includes a few breaking changes to integer types in its API.
- **Release 0.2.0 of `bdk-message-signer`.** Our [message signing library](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk-message-signer/releases/tag/v.0.2.0) was upgraded from `bdk_wallet` 2.x to 3.1.0. Note that `bdk_wallet` types appear in its public API, so downstream users need to be on `bdk_wallet` 3.x to use this release.
- **A new library: `bdk-bitcoind-client`.** Work is underway on a [Bitcoin Core RPC client](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk-bitcoind-client) for BDK, which picked up authenticated clients via `Client::with_auth` and an async `Client::call_async` method.

Let's not put this since it's still experimental and I think may get folded into the bdk_bitcoincore_rpc crate rather than living on its own.

Sounds good.

## Our Grantees in Action

There were two changes to the team this quarter. [Nymius](https://github.com/nymius), who has been leading our silent payments work under a project grant moved to a full-time grant, and will keep pushing BIP-352 support forward while helping with the maintenance of the project. [ValuedMammal](https://github.com/ValuedMammal) moved to our past grantees. Among many other things, ValuedMammal authored the `Wallet::create_psbt` integration and the Rust 2024 edition migration that shipped in `bdk_wallet` 3.2.0 this quarter. Thank you for everything! See our [grantees page](../../foundation/grantees.md) for the full roster of developers funded through the Foundation.

Nymius has already been on a full-time grant for his silent payments work and we don't need to mention that he's also going to be working more on maintenance.
