A pure and powerful JavaScript Bitcoin library.
Bitcoin is a powerful new peer-to-peer platform for the next generation of financial technology. The decentralized nature of the Bitcoin network allows for highly resilient bitcoin infrastructure, and the developer community needs reliable, open-source tools to implement bitcoin apps and services.
npm install bitcore-lib
bower install bitcore-lib
The complete docs are hosted here: bitcore documentation. There's also a bitcore API reference available generated from the JSDocs of the project, where you'll find low-level details on each bitcore utility.

To build a bitcore-lib full bundle for the browser:
gulp browser
This will generate files named bitcore-lib.js
and bitcore-lib.min.js
.
You can also use our pre-generated files, provided for each release along with a PGP signature by one of the project's maintainers. To get them, checkout the releases.
git clone https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-lib
cd bitcore-lib
npm install
Run all the tests:
gulp test
You can also run just the Node.js tests with gulp test:node
, just the browser tests with gulp test:browser
or create a test coverage report (you can open coverage/lcov-report/index.html
to visualize it) with gulp coverage
.
We're using Bitcore in production, as are many others, but please use common sense when doing anything related to finances! We take no responsibility for your implementation decisions.
If you find a security issue, please email [email protected].
