Knots vs Core
Bitcoin Knots is fork-compatible with Bitcoin Core - same network, same consensus rules. Differences are in defaults and added configuration options: stricter mempool policies, optional filters for non-standard scripts, additional RPC commands.
Why Operators Choose Knots
Operators who want more control over their mempool acceptance policy (e.g. filtering ordinals/inscriptions) sometimes prefer Knots. Knots ships with these filters as configuration options; Core does not.
Network Compatibility
A Knots node peers normally with Core nodes. The mempool policy difference is local-only; it does not split the network. Block consensus is identical.
