How does Bitcoin Proxy request (and verify) data when that data is needed by some app using it?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proxy fetches blocks from your pruned node if it still has them, and fetches them from peers when it does not. Proxy can ensures the fetched block is valid by comparing it to its header, which is retained by the pruned node. The header is a product of the hash of the block itself, amongst other things, so it can't be tampered with.
What is the difference between the Bitcoin Wallet Tracker and the Electrum Personal Server?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bitcoin Wallet Tracker and Electrum Personal Server are 2 services that do the same thing, similar to bitcoind vs btcd, or lnd vs c-lightning.

Electrum (and some other wallets) require more than just a Bitcoin node to run in a sovereign way, they require an “Electrum Server”. Both Electrum Personal Server and Bitcoin Wallet Tracker are “Electrum servers”.

It is helpful to think of the Bitcoin Core service on the Embassy as your own personal Bitcoin Server. This is your own verified source of truth of the Bitcoin ledger, that requires no permission for you to set up and own. The job of your Bitcoin server is to verify that the transactions you want to make and receive are valid.
There are modern wallets that have the ability to use your personal Bitcoin node as a source of truth, and with the advantages of additional security and advanced features. This also follows the Linux mantra of "do one thing and do it well." The recommended way to use Bitcoin with your Embassys Bitcoin node is with an external wallet.
