bitcoinjs-lib
A pure JavaScript Bitcoin library for node.js and browsers. Backed by (slowly improving) testing, proven by over a million wallet users. The backbone for almost all Bitcoin web wallets in production today.
This is not the original bitcoinjs-lib that was not updated for a while. The current bitcoinjs-lib has been refactored to clean things up, add new functionality and merge improvements from the community. If you are looking for the original, it will be tagged as 0.1.3
. We will use 0.2.x
for releases based on these changes, so be sure to use the 0.1.3
tag if you need the original version.
Features
- Bitcoin Testnet and Mainnet (production) support
- HD Wallets
- Highly secure random private key / address generation using window.crypto.getRandomValues
- ECDSA signing and verification
- Transaction creation (pay-to-pubkey-hash), support for multisignature transactions
- A (somewhat incomplete) wallet implementation, improvements ongoing
