Summary of bcoin-org/bcoin
bcoin-org/bcoin is an experimental node.js implementation of the Bitcoin protocol, made with the idea of becoming a reference implementation. Unlike Bitcoin Core, this version is implemented in JavaScript and aims to focus on simplicity, purity, and discoverability of the codebase.
The main features of this GitHub repository include:
- Full Node
- SPV Node
- Wallet
- Miner
- Mempool
- BIP37 Bloom Filters
- BIP151 Protocol Encryption
- BIP150 Peer Authentication
- REST API
- RPC Server
- Browser Support (bcoin & bcoin-client)
It also follows a number of Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs) and is robust enough to handle several production systems and applications.
However, as it is an advanced application, the developers suggest that an understanding of how bitcoin works, the design of the system and knowledge of the bitcoin protocol will be beneficial to work with bcoin.
