TABConf 7 2025: Adding Silent Payments Support to BDK | TABConf 7

About this episode

This episode previews a workshop on adding silent payments support to BDK, detailing practical implementation and wallet flows.

A workshop preview of the work underway to support silent payments in BDK, with a practical walkthrough of the experimental bdk-sp repository and its modular design combining BDK with BIP352 . You’ll see how a silent payment wallet can be implemented in practice, including transaction creation, incoming payment discovery, spending flows, labeling, and a possible PSBT based approach. If you’re new to this area, you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how silent payments fit into BDK architecture, what the end to end wallet flow looks like, and which Bitcoin primitives matter most to follow along. Recorded live at TABConf 7 in 2025.
