Crate bitcoin_spv 

This crate is part of the bitcoin-spv project.

This work is produced and copyrighted by Summa, and released under the terms of the LGPLv3 license.

It contains a collection of Rust functions and structs for working with Bitcoin data structures. Basically, these tools help you parse, inspect, and authenticate Bitcoin transactions.

It is extremely easy to write insecure code using these libraries. We do not recommend a specific security model. Any SPV verification involves complex security assumptions. Please seek external review for your design before building with these libraries.

Modules

btcspv

btcspv provides basic Bitcoin transaction and header parsing, as well as utility functions like merkle verification and difficulty adjustment calculation.

std_types

std_types exposes useful structs for headers and SPV proofs, and provides (de)serialization for these structs. It implements a standard JSON format that is compatible with all other bitcoin-spv implementations.

types

types exposes simple types for on-chain evaluation of SPV proofs

utils

utils contains utility functions for working with bytestrings, including hex encoding and decoding.

validatespv

validatespv provides higher-levels of abstraction for evaluating SPV proofs, transactions, and headers.
