NakamotoJS

A fork of BitcoinJS tailored towards advanced applications like swaps

This fork makes the following changes to BitcoinJS:

• Works in the browser
• Supports Litecoin in addition to Bitcoin (support for Dogecoin coming soon)
• Adds support for signing transactions (BitcoinJS can only sign PSBTs).
• Adds support for updating inputs and outputs
• Adds support for serializing and deserializing transactions

Why

While PSBTs are a great for serialization, they are restrictive as they cannot be modified after the first signature is added. This is an issue for applications like swaps where multiple users need to build a transaction collaboratively. In these cases users can take advantage of SIGHASH types that allow the modifications of part of a transaction after a signature is added.

You can find more information on building swap transactions and sale transactions in our docs.

Installation

Install the Bitcoin Computer Monorepo. Then navigate from the root folder of the monorepo to the folder packages/explorer.

# Download the monorepo
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin-computer/monorepo.git

# Move to the package
cd monorepo

# Install the dependencies
npm install

Usage

The following commands can be run from the folder packages/nakamotojs/

Run the Tests

npm run test

Run the Linter

npm run lint

Build the Sources

npm run build

Examples

The below examples are implemented as integration tests, they should be very easy to understand. Otherwise, pull requests are appreciated. Some examples interact (via HTTPS) with a 3rd Party Blockchain Provider (3PBP). 17:29
