Umbrel
A beautiful personal server OS for Raspberry Pi or any Linux distro
Run your personal server with a Bitcoin and Lightning node in your home, self-host open source apps like Nextcloud and Matrix to break away from big tech, and take full control of your data. For free. All our interactions on the internet today are mediated by a few companies who offer “free” services in exchange for storing our data on their servers to spy on us. Running a personal server fundamentally changes that. You and your family’s photos, videos, files, notes, passwords, everything, have nothing to do with someone else’s computer. They’re a part of your private life, and now they can all be stored by you, in your home, on your Umbrel. The Bitcoin network is made up of thousands of nodes that verify every single transaction in the blockchain. Some of them mine Bitcoin too, but unlike a mining node, running a non-mining node doesn’t require expensive hardware. Achieve unparalleled privacy by connecting your wallet directly to the Bitcoin node on your Umbrel. -

c-lightning
BOLT-compliant Lightning Network implementation
c-lightning is a a BOLT-compliant Lightning implementation by Blockstream [2] written in C language. Version 1 of c-lightning was released on August 8th, 2015, and has since been under active beta development. c-lightning runs on Linux. The Lightning Network is an off-chain, routed payment channel network built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. The network consists of nodes connected by peer-to-peer channels. This allows low cost, near-instant payments to be trustlessly routed across the network via connected nodes. On top of complying with all BOLT standards, c-lightning is developing an architecture for plugins. Plugins can be built to extend the c-lightning command line API. There are a number of developer tools, libraries and plugins that exist for the c-lightning implementation. -

Bitcoin ABC
This a mirror of the official Bitcoin-ABC repository
The goal of Bitcoin ABC is to create sound money that is usable by everyone in the world. We believe this is a civilization-changing technology which will dramatically increase human flourishing, freedom, and prosperity. The project aims to achieve this goal by implementing a series of optimizations and protocol upgrades that will enable peer-to-peer digital cash to scale many orders of magnitude beyond current limits. eCash is a digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. It uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. eCash is a descendant of Bitcoin. Bitcoin ABC is the name of open-source software which enables the use of eCash. It is a fork of the Bitcoin Core software project. -

Qtum
Qtum Core Wallet
Qtum is a decentralized blockchain project built on Bitcoin's UTXO model, with support for Ethereum Virtual Machine-based smart contracts, and secured by a proof of stake consensus model. It achieves this through the revolutionary Account Abstraction Layer which allows the EVM to communicate with Qtum's Bitcoin-like UTXO blockchain. Welcome to the Qtum Ignition Main Network. This is the main network where the tokens hold value and should be guarded very carefully. If you are testing the network or developing unstable software on Qtum, we highly recommend using either testnet or regtest mode. A Proof of Stake consensus system which is optimized for Qtum's contract model. Any user can stake and help to secure the network. There is no voting, master nodes, or minimum amount required. There have been transactions as small as 2 Qtum that have created blocks in the past. Staking from smart contracts is under development. -

Learning Bitcoin from the Command Line
A complete course for learning Bitcoin programming and usage
Learning Bitcoin from the Command Line is a tutorial for working with Bitcoin (and Lightning) that teaches direct interaction with the servers themselves, as the most robust and secure way to begin cryptocurrency work. This is a draft in progress, so that I can get some feedback from early reviewers. It is not yet ready for use. Learning Bitcoin from the Command Line is a project of Blockchain Commons. We are proudly a "not-for-profit" social benefit corporation committed to open source & open development. Our work is funded entirely by donations and collaborative partnerships with people like you. Every contribution will be spent on building open tools, technologies, and techniques that sustain and advance blockchain and internet security infrastructure and promote an open web. We are also tentatively considering what we could include in a v3.0 of the course. -

Rust-Lightning
Bitcoin Lightning library written in Rust
Rust-Lightning is a Bitcoin Lightning library written in Rust. The main crate, lightning, does not handle networking, persistence, or any other I/O. Thus, it is runtime-agnostic, but users must implement basic networking logic, chain interactions, and disk storage. The project implements all of the BOLT specifications in the 1.0 spec. The implementation has pretty good test coverage that is expected to continue to improve. It is also anticipated that as developers begin using the API, the lessons from that will result in changes to the API, so any developer using this API at this stage should be prepared to embrace that. LDK/Rust-Lightning is a generic library which allows you to build a lightning node without needing to worry about getting all of the lightning state machine, routing, and on-chain punishment code (and other chain interactions) exactly correct. Note that Rust-Lightning isn't, in itself, a node. -

Zcash
A privacy-protecting, digital currency built on strong science
Zcash is the future of money-- digital, decentralized and private. It is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol; a digital currency based on Bitcoin's code, but with a higher standard of privacy. Like Bitcoin, Zcash transaction data is posted to a public blockchain. However unlike Bitcoin, your personal and transaction data stay completely private. Thanks to a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme, transactions can be verified without showing any information at all about the sender, receiver or transaction amount. Selective disclosure features are available for users who may need these for compliance or audit purposes. Zcash was built by top cryptographers, with an underlying protocol based on the research of scientists from MIT, Technion, Johns Hopkins, Tel Aviv University and UC Berkeley. -

BitcoinExchangeFH
Cryptocurrency exchange market data feed handler
BitcoinExchangeFH is a slim application to record the price depth and trades in various exchanges. You can set it up quickly and record all the exchange data in a few minutes! If the exchange is not supported with the WebSocket API feed, it will automatically fall into using its REST API feed. The subscription section specifies the exchange and instruments to subscribe. After receiving the order book or trade update, each handler is updated. For example, for SQL database handler, it is updated with the corresponding SQl statements. The feed handler acts as a publisher in ZeroMQ. To receive the feed, please follow ZeroMQ instructions to start a subscriber. The application is compatible with version higher or equal to python 3.0. -

BTC RPC Explorer
Database-free, self-hosted Bitcoin explorer, via RPC to Bitcoin Core
This is a self-hosted explorer for the Bitcoin blockchain, driven by RPC calls to your own Bitcoin node. It is easy to run and can be connected to other tools (like Electrum servers) to achieve a full-featured explorer. Whatever reasons you may have for running a full node (trustlessness, technical curiosity, supporting the network, etc) it's valuable to appreciate the fullness of your node. With this explorer, you can explore not just the blockchain database, but also explore all of the functional capabilities of your own node. Optional transaction history for addresses by querying from Electrum-protocol servers (e.g. Electrs, ElectrumX), blockchain, blockchair or blockcypher. Mempool summary, with fee, size, and age breakdowns. See raw JSON content from bitcoind used to generate most pages. Analysis tools for viewing stats on blocks, transactions, and miner activity. -

Bitcoin
Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built. Bitcoin Core requires a one-time download of about 400GB of data plus a further 5-10GB per month. By default, you will need to store all of that data, but if you enable pruning, you can store as little as 6GB total without sacrificing any security. For more information about setting up Bitcoin Core, please read the full node guide. Download verification is optional but highly recommended. Performing the verification steps here ensures that you have not downloaded an unexpected or tampered version of Bitcoin, which may result in loss of funds. Experienced users who don't mind performing additional steps can take advantage of Bitcoin Core's reproducible builds and the signed checksums generated by contributors who perform those builds. -

Eclair
A scala implementation of the Lightning Network
Eclair (French for Lightning) is a Scala implementation of the Lightning Network. This software follows the Lightning Network Specifications (BOLTs). Other implementations include c-lightning, lnd, electrum, and rust-lightning. Eclair offers a feature-rich HTTP API that enables application developers to easily integrate. Eclair's JSON API should NOT be accessible from the outside world (similarly to Bitcoin Core API). Eclair requires Bitcoin Core 0.20.1 or 0.21.1. (other versions of Bitcoin Core are not actively tested - use at your own risk). If you are upgrading an existing wallet, you may need to create a new address and send all your funds to that address. Eclair needs a synchronized, segwit-ready, zeromq-enabled, wallet-enabled, non-pruning, tx-indexing Bitcoin Core node. You must configure your Bitcoin node to use bech32 (segwit) addresses. -

bitcoinj
A library for working with Bitcoin
bitcoinj is a library for working with the Bitcoin protocol. It can maintain a wallet, send/receive transactions without needing a local copy of Bitcoin Core and has many other advanced features. It's implemented in Java but can be used from any JVM compatible language, examples in Python and JavaScript are included. Highly optimized lightweight simplified payment verification (SPV) mode. In this mode, only a small part of the blockchain is downloaded, making bitcoin suitable for usage on constrained devices like smartphones or cheap virtual private servers. A wallet class with encryption, fee calculation, multi-signing, deterministic key derivation, pluggable coin selection/coin control, extensions support and event listeners that let you stay up to date with changes in your balance. Experimental full verification mode, which does the same verification work as Bitcoin Core. In this mode, the unspent transaction output set (UTXO set) is calculated. -

Cryptocurrency Exchange Feed Handler
Cryptocurrency Exchange Websocket data feed handler
Handles multiple cryptocurrency exchange data feeds and returns normalized and standardized results to client registered callbacks for events like trades, book updates, ticker updates, etc. Utilizes WebSockets when possible, but can also poll data via REST endpoints if a WebSocket is not provided. Create a FeedHandler object and add subscriptions. For the various data channels that an exchange supports, you can supply callbacks for data events, or use provided backends to handle the data for you. Start the feed handler and you're done! Cryptofeed also provides a synthetic NBBO (National Best Bid/Offer) feed that aggregates the best bids and asks from the user specified feeds. Cryptofeed supports backend callbacks that will write directly to storage or other interfaces. Cryptofeed can be installed from PyPi. (It's recommended that you install in a virtual environment of your choosing). -

Naeon
The safest way to store private data in untrusted (cloud) environments
Naeon is a data encryption and sharding method designed to secure data in potentially untrusted off-site storage locations. It uses AES-256 encryption with a randomly generated passphrase, followed by obfuscation techniques to make the encrypted file unidentifiable. The data is then sharded into one private chunk containing the encryption key and part of the data, and multiple public chunks. Each chunk is renamed using its SHA-512 hash, and all chunks are timestamped equally. A filename conversion table is created to restore the concatenation order during a restore. The method aims to guarantee confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, regardless of the trustworthiness of the chosen storage environment, while protecting against data breaches and unauthorized access. Threshold Key Sharing further enhances security and resilience by splitting the private key into parts requiring cooperation from multiple parties for reconstruction, thereby minimizing single points of failure.
