README
Rust-BCH
A library to build Bitcoin Cash (BCH) applications in Rust.
This library was originally developed by Brenton Gunning, who discontinued it in favor of rust-sv. This is a fork to resume active development.
Features:
- P2P protocol messages (construction and serialization)
- Address generation (cashaddr and legacy)
- Transaction signing
- Script evaluation
- Node connections and basic message handling
- Wallet key derivation and mnemonic parsing
- Mainnet and testnet support
- Various Bitcoin primitives
Missing features:
Patches welcome!
Installation
Add bch = "0.2.0" to Cargo.toml in your project.
Changelog
See CHANGELOG.
Known limitations
This library should not be used for consensus code because its validation checks are incomplete.
Comparison with other Rust libraries
rust-sv - started as a fork of rust-bch, in active development. rust-bch will pull code from it as long as both libraries remain compatible.
rust-bitcoin - rust-bch has no ties to rust-bitcoin. This library can do everything rust-bitcoin can do and more for Bitcoin Cash.
parity-bitcoin - The parity Bitcoin client is a full node in Rust. Its code is more full-featured and also more complex.
bitcrust - The bitcrust project is strong in some areas and lacking in others. The two projects could be used together.
