Introduction

Bitcoin transactions enable the storage of any type of data on a public ledger providing the foundation layer for any, and all types of applications to be built on top of it. With a defined locked down protocol and immutable transactions, Bitcoin enables robust applications that can inter-operate with each other paving the way for limitless use-cases.

Additionally, the flexible UTXO model of storing transactions paves the way for massive scale-ability, instilling confidence that the Bitcoin SV network can handle the transaction volume that robust applications require.

Popular tools

  • Bitsocket - web socket endpoint that allows applications to listen to the Bitcoin ledger for any type of transaction, usable from any programming language
  • Bitbus - Creates a filtered subledger of Bitcoin transactions in your file system, eliminating the need for application developers to run a node
