taking the discussion from #148 (comment) to a more appropriate place

if we look at the Core RPC API, which RPCs would nakamoto-node be able to expose (at least from a theoretical perspective)?

You could expose some of that stuff potentially, eg. block headers or hashes, but nakamoto doesn't keep a full mempool and doesn't validate every tx. The wallet API could be interesting..

I'd be more interested in knowing what the use-case might be; as far as I know, the only use case for running nakamoto standalone on the desktop is for running a desktop wallet, which we have a sketch of in the wallet crate.

There is no really use case because you need to use a BIP 157 as an external API, however I have a design on how we can track the status of our transaction, so maybe nakamoto can be the first BIP 157 node with a command line. Also, neutrino is lacking in this ecosystem

Thinking to see if we can use the wallet integration with bdk
