The project [rust-secp256k1](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1) offers a cargo build and Rust bindings, therefore we depend on that instead of compiling the Bitcoin embedded sources into `libbitcoinconsensus`.

## Status
21
+
22
+
The `libbitcoinconsensus` library was [deprecated in Bitcoin Core v27](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-27.0.md#libbitcoinconsensus).
23
+
24
+
> In the future, libbitcoinkernel will provide a much more useful API that is aware of the UTXO set, and therefore be able to fully validate transactions and blocks.
25
+
26
+
And was [removed in Bitcoin Core v28](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-28.0.md#libbitcoinconsensus-removal).
27
+
28
+
As such this library will not likely see many updates i.e., **this crate is in maintenance mode**.
