Instead of forcing all transactions inserted to use the same anchors, we change the API to have unique anchors per transaction. This allows for more flexibility in general. For example, use `Anchor` implementations that contain the position in a block of a transaction.

About
The bdk libraries aims to provide well engineered and reviewed components for Bitcoin based applications.
It is built upon the excellent rust-bitcoin and rust-miniscript crates.
⚠ The Bitcoin Dev Kit developers are in the process of releasing a
v1.0which is a fundamental re-write of how the library works. See for some background on this project: https://bitcoindevkit.org/blog/road-to-bdk-1/ (ignore the timeline 😁) For a release timeline see thebdk_core_stagingrepo where a lot of the component work is being done. The plan is that everything in thebdk_core_stagingrepo will be moved into thecratesdirectory here.
Architecture
The project is split up into several crates in the /crates directory:
bdk: Contains the central high levelWallettype that is built from the low-level mechanisms provided by the other componentschain: Tools for storing and indexing chain datafile_store: A (experimental) persistence backend for storing chain data in a single file.esplora: Extends theesplora-clientcrate with methods to fetch chain data from an esplora HTTP server in the form that [bdk_chain] andWalletcan consume.electrum: Extends theelectrum-clientcrate with methods to fetch chain data from an electrum server in the form that [bdk_chain] andWalletcan consume.
Fully working examples of how to use these components are in /example-crates
