bsvlib

A Bitcoin SV (BSV) Python Library that is extremely simple to use but more.

• MAINNET and TESTNET supported
• P2PKH, P2PK, and bare-multisig supported
• All the SIGHASH flags supported
• Additional script types can be customized
• WhatsOnChain API integrated
• Ability to adapt to different service providers
• Fully ECDSA implementation
• ECDH and Electrum ECIES (aka BIE1) implementation
• HD implementation (BIP-32, BIP-39, BIP-44)

Installation

$ pip install bsvlib

Examples

1. Send BSV in one line

from bsvlib import Wallet

# Donate to aaron67!
outputs = [('1HYeFCE2KG4CW4Jwz5NmDqAZK9Q626ChmN', 724996)]
print(Wallet(['YOUR_WIF']).create_transaction(outputs=outputs).broadcast())

1. Send unspent locked by different keys in one transaction, support OP_RETURN output as well

from bsvlib import Wallet
from bsvlib.constants import Chain

w = Wallet(chain=Chain.TEST)

w.add_key('cVwfreZB3i8iv9JpdSStd9PWhZZGGJCFLS4rEKWfbkahibwhticA')
w.add_key('93UnxexmsTYCmDJdctz4zacuwxQd5prDmH6rfpEyKkQViAVA3me')
print(w.get_balance(refresh=True))

outputs = [('mqBuyzdHfD87VfgxaYeM9pex3sJn4ihYHY', 724), ('mr1FHq6GwWzmD1y8Jxq6rNDGsiiQ9caF7r', 996)]
pushdatas = ['hello', b'world']
print(w.create_transaction(outputs=outputs, pushdatas=pushdatas, combine=True).broadcast())

1. Operate P2PK

import time

from bsvlib import Wallet, TxOutput, Transaction
from bsvlib.constants import Chain
from bsvlib.keys import Key
from bsvlib.script import P2pkScriptType

chain = Chain.TEST

k = Key('cVwfreZB3i8iv9JpdSStd9PWhZZGGJCFLS4rEKWfbkahibwhticA')
p2pk_output = TxOutput(P2pkScriptType.locking(k.public_key().serialize()), 996, P2pkScriptType())

unspents = Wallet(chain=chain).add_keys([k, '93UnxexmsTYCmDJdctz4zacuwxQd5prDmH6rfpEyKkQViAVA3me']).get_unspents(refresh=True)
t = Transaction(chain=chain).add_inputs(unspents).add_output(p2pk_output).add_change(k.address()).sign()
print('create p2pk:', t.broadcast())

time.sleep(2)
unspents = t.to_unspents(args=[{'private_keys': [k]}] * 2)
t = Transaction(chain=chain).add_inputs(unspents).add_change(k.address()).sign()
print('sepnd p2pk:', t.broadcast())

1. Operate bare-multisig

import time
from typing import List, Union

from bsvlib import Key, Unspent, Transaction, TxOutput
from bsvlib.constants import Chain
from bsvlib.script import BareMultisigScriptType, Script
from bsvlib.service import WhatsOnChain

k1 = Key('cVwfreZB3i8iv9JpdSStd9PWhZZGGJCFLS4rEKWfbkahibwhticA')
k2 = Key('93UnxexmsTYCmDJdctz4zacuwxQd5prDmH6rfpEyKkQViAVA3me')
provider = WhatsOnChain(Chain.TEST)
unspents = Unspent.get_unspents(provider=provider, private_keys=[k1])

# a 2-of-3 multi-sig output
public_keys: List[Union[str, bytes]] = [k1.public_key().hex(), Key().public_key().hex(), k2.public_key().serialize()]
multisig_script: Script = BareMultisigScriptType.locking(public_keys, 2)
output = TxOutput(out=multisig_script, satoshi=1000, script_type=BareMultisigScriptType())

# create a multi-sig output
t = Transaction(provider=provider).add_inputs(unspents).add_output(output).add_change().sign()
r = t.broadcast()
print(f'create multisig - {r}')
assert r.propagated
time.sleep(2)

# send the multi-sig unspent we just created
unspent = t.to_unspent(0, private_keys=[k1, k2])
r = Transaction(provider=provider).add_input(unspent).add_change(k1.address()).sign().broadcast()
print(f'spend multisig - {r}')

1. Sign with different SIGHASH flags, more examples

from bsvlib import Key, Wallet, Transaction, TxInput, TxOutput
from bsvlib.constants import SIGHASH, Chain
from bsvlib.service import WhatsOnChain

provider = WhatsOnChain(Chain.TEST)
private_key = Key('cVwfreZB3i8iv9JpdSStd9PWhZZGGJCFLS4rEKWfbkahibwhticA')
unspents = Wallet([private_key]).get_unspents(refresh=True, provider=provider)

t = Transaction(provider=provider)
t.add_input(TxInput(unspents[0], sighash=SIGHASH.SINGLE_FORKID))
t.add_output(TxOutput(private_key.address(), 135))
t.sign()

# it's good to append any outputs AFTER the first output, no need to sign, can broadcast directly
print(t.add_change().broadcast())

1. Sign arbitrary text with private key

from bsvlib import Key, verify_signed_text

private_key = Key('L5agPjZKceSTkhqZF2dmFptT5LFrbr6ZGPvP7u4A6dvhTrr71WZ9')
text = 'hello world'

# sign arbitrary text with bitcoin private key
address, signature = private_key.sign_text(text)

# verify https://reinproject.org/bitcoin-signature-tool/
print(address, signature)

# verify
print(verify_signed_text(text, address, signature))

1. Encrypt message with public key, decrypt with the corresponding private key

from bsvlib import Key

private_key = Key('L5agPjZKceSTkhqZF2dmFptT5LFrbr6ZGPvP7u4A6dvhTrr71WZ9')
public_key = private_key.public_key()

plain = 'hello world'

# use public key to encrypt
encrypted = public_key.encrypt_text(plain)
print(encrypted)

# decrypt with the corresponding private key
print(private_key.decrypt_text(encrypted))

1. Process HD wallet derivation

from typing import List

from bsvlib.hd import mnemonic_from_entropy, Xprv, derive_xprvs_from_mnemonic

#
# HD derivation
#
entropy = 'cd9b819d9c62f0027116c1849e7d497f'

# snow swing guess decide congress abuse session subway loyal view false zebra
mnemonic: str = mnemonic_from_entropy(entropy)
print(mnemonic)

keys: List[Xprv] = derive_xprvs_from_mnemonic(mnemonic, path="m/44'/0'/0'", change=1, index_start=0, index_end=5)
for key in keys:
    print(key.address(), key.private_key().wif())

#
# random mnemonic
#
print()
print(mnemonic_from_entropy())
print(mnemonic_from_entropy(lang='en'))
print(mnemonic_from_entropy(lang='zh-cn'))
