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.

To build a bitcore-lib full bundle for the browser:
gulp browserThis 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 installRun all the tests:
gulp testYou 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.
