Building on Bitcoin

Introduction
Bitcoin's ability to store data on the blockchain enables 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 Bitcoin can handle the transaction volume that robust applications need.
Popular tools
- Neon Planaria - Javascript framework that generates a state machine and database as well as an API to interface other applications with.
- Bitbus - Creates a filtered subledger of Bitcoin transactions in your file system, eliminating the need for application developers to run a node.
- Datapay - Simple JS library that enables broadcasting of Bitcoin transactions with as little as 4 lines of code.
- Moneybutton - Robust payment API where users swipe a button to generate a Bitcoin transaction for payment and/or write data to the blockchain.
- Cashport - API framework that enables developers to easily manage and implement micro-payments for services in your application.
- Paymail - Protocol that defines how to send Bitcoin to a human readable, email like namespace instead of a Bitcoin address.
