Expose on-chain transactions

[tnull]

Maybe/Probably blocked on BDK 1.0 as we still hope we can add event types for it.

See bitcoindevkit/bdk#36

We should track LDK-side onchain events, too, i.e., ChainMonitor::get_claimable_balances

is there a reason for not exposing list_transactions from the bdk wallet?

I'm working on a unified interface for all on-chain transactions, LDK on-chain/currently being swept/BDK on-chain.
This issues is however more about exposing an event for incoming onchain transactions, which BDK doesn't allow us currently to do.

Just checking in here to see what the status is.
Will merging BDK 1.0 enable exposing of onchain transactions, or is it still blocked on something else?

Well, it may be technically unlocked by bitcoindevkit/bdk#358, although so far we held off on BDK exposing an informative API telling us what actually changed during a sync: bitcoindevkit/bdk_wallet#6

That said, since this is now has been pushed to their BDK 1.1 release, we might need to find an (intermittent?) solution, which however likely won't make it into the upcoming release, scheduled in the next weeks already. Please be sure that we're very aware of this issue though, and hope to address this in the following release.
