Governance
Vision
Privacy is not a feature — it is a property that Bitcoin transactions either have or lack. Stealth exists to make that visible. The project is built on a simple principle: users should be able to audit their own wallet's privacy using only their own node, without trusting any third party.
Project lead
Stealth is maintained by LORDBABUINO (@LORDBABUINO).
How decisions are made
Stealth follows a maintainer-led model. The project lead sets the technical direction, manages the roadmap, and reviews all contributions. Community feedback through issues and pull requests is encouraged and helps shape the project's evolution.
Contributing
Contributions are welcome. A few guidelines to keep things productive:
- Open an issue first for non-trivial changes so we can discuss the approach before you invest time writing code.
- Keep PRs focused — one concern per pull request.
- Stay aligned with the project's philosophy — Stealth is a local-first, privacy-preserving analysis engine built on top of Bitcoin Core. Changes that introduce external service dependencies or move away from this model are generally not a good fit.
- Be respectful, constructive, and focused on the work.
Scope
Stealth is an application, not a protocol. Formal specification or proposal processes (SIPs, BIPs, etc.) are outside the scope of this repository. The codebase and its documentation serve as the living reference for how things work.
License
Stealth is released under the MIT License.
