Score: 8.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 9, Documentation: 9, Utility: 7)

Satd is a Bitcoin Core-compatible full node written in Rust, featuring a dual consensus engine with runtime shadow-validation against Core, built-in Electrum and Esplora servers, and a unique operator-focused design with native Prometheus metrics and an AI-native MCP server. It offers innovative policy sovereignty for mempool relay decisions and a streaming consumption API, making it a strong alternative to the C++ node monoculture with enhanced security and operational ergonomics.
