Building on Bitcoin

Here you can find information on and links to some of the tools developed for Bitcoin including:

• 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, bypassing the need for application developers to run a node.
• Moneybutton - Simple 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 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.

Widely used 2nd layer protocols:

• Metanet Protocol - Defines a directed graph structure that stores data on the blockchain where that data can easily be queried and referenced by other applications.
• Tokenized Protocol - Defines protocol and platform where issuers and users can create, manage and trade tokens leveraging built-in smart contracts.
• B://, C://, D://, BCAT - Various protocols for storing files on-chain and referencing them in a web page or application.
• AIP - Author Identity Protocol - Simple protocol to sign arbitrary OP_RETURN data and decouple the signing address from the funding source address.
• MAP - Magic Attribute Protocol - Protocol that maps arbitrary data via key/value pairs on-chain.
• Contact Brendan Lee at [email protected] to have your stable, released protocol added.
