The result is based on ratio of number of commits and code additions from initial and final time ranges.
Initial time range – from 14 Aug, 2023 to 14 Nov, 2023
Final time range – from 15 May, 2024 to 14 Aug, 2024
Additions and deletions stats are not available for this repository due to GitHub API limitations.
It is basically a number of most active contributors responsible for 80% of contributions.
Bus factor tries to assess "What happens if a key member of the team is hit by a bus?". The more there are key members, the lower the risk.
The lightninglabs/neutrino repository has a bus factor of 5.
Medium risk, some knowledge concentrated in a few people

Neutrino is a Bitcoin light client that connects to the Bitcoin network using the bitcoin
protocol. It is developed by Lightning Labs.
Neutrino allows users to interact with the Bitcoin blockchain with increased privacy compared to traditional SPV clients. Unlike traditional clients, Neutrino requires no centralized server to operate and can connect to the network via peers. Users control the entire transaction process, from creating transactions to signing them.
The goals of Neutrino are:
More detail about how Neutrino works can be found in the BIPs BIP 157
and BIP 158
.
One thing to note is that this is not a wallet, but rather a backend service. For a Neutrino-backed Bitcoin wallet, see lightninglabs/lightning-app
, which packages Neutrino into an easy-to-use bitcoin wallet.
This project is still in the experimental stage, so using it in production or with large amounts of bitcoin is not recommended at this time.
The repository contains a Go reference implementation of Neutrino. In order to build or use the neutrino
library, the Go language must be installed on the system.
