A hands on TABConf 6 workshop on building a simple descriptor based web wallet with BDK 1.0. The session introduces the new stable bdk_wallet API and why it matters: the Wallet struct decouples persistence and blockchain clients, making it easier to build apps using Rust async runtimes. You’ll build a web wallet using Axum, an Esplora client, and a SQLite database, covering the key steps: generating a new onchain wallet from a random mnemonic, using a pay to taproot (P2TR) descriptor, storing wallet state in SQLite, syncing transaction history over Esplora, and displaying balance plus transaction history.

Recorded live at TABConf 6 in 2024.
