Grant Renewals: Niklas Gögge & Daniela Brozzoni

• "Brink is excited to announce continued support for  Niklas Gögge (@dergoegge) in his Bitcoin Core development work," announced Brink.
• "His contributions towards testing, particularly fuzzing, is important to secure Bitcoin Core and uncover critical bugs."

"Fuzzing can be used to expand test coverage and uncover bugs. For example, generating a series of P2P messages that leads to a crash, memory leak, etc. As nodes are exposed to anonymous peers, a bug in the P2P message processing code could be catastrophic."

• "Fuzz testing initiatives in Bitcoin Core have found several important bugs over the years, with Fuzz Trophies noting some of them."
• "Niklas recently gave a presentation about what fuzz testing is as well as fuzz testing in Bitcoin Core."

At the same time, Spiral renewed a grant for developer Daniela Brozzoni.

• "Daniela Brozzoni (@danielabrozzoni) is helping with BDK 1.0 both as a builder and maintainer. She’s also redesigning the BDK transaction builder, implementing the rust-miniscript planning module."
