Bitcoin utilities in Elixir

Bitcoinex

Bitcoinex is striving to be the best and most up-to-date Bitcoin Library for Elixir.

Documentation

Documentation is available on hexdocs.pm.

Current Utilities

• Serialization and validation for Bech32 and Base58.
• Support for standard on-chain scripts (P2PKH..P2WPKH) and Bolt#11 Lightning Invoices.
• Transaction serialization.
• Basic PSBT (BIP174) parsing.

Usage

With Hex:

{:bitcoinex, "~> 0.1.7"}

Local:

$ mix deps.get
$ mix compile

Examples

Decode a Lightning Network invoice:

Bitcoinex.LightningNetwork.decode_invoice("lnbc2500u1pvjluezpp5qqqsyqcyq5rqwzqfqqqsyqcyq5rqwzqfqqqsyqcyq5rqwzqfqypqdq5xysxxatsyp3k7enxv4jsxqzpuaztrnwngzn3kdzw5hydlzf03qdgm2hdq27cqv3agm2awhz5se903vruatfhq77w3ls4evs3ch9zw97j25emudupq63nyw24cg27h2rspfj9srp")

{:ok,
  %Bitcoinex.LightningNetwork.Invoice{
    amount_msat: 250000000,
    description: "1 cup coffee",
    description_hash: nil,
    destination: "03e7156ae33b0a208d0744199163177e909e80176e55d97a2f221ede0f934dd9ad",

  }}

Parse a BIP-174 Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction:

Handle bitcoin addresses:

{:ok, {:mainnet, witness_version, witness_program}} = Bitcoinex.Segwit.decode_address("bc1qw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7kv8f3t4")

Bitcoinex.Segwit.encode_address(:mainnet, witness_version, witness_program)

{:ok, "bc1qw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7kv8f3t4"}

Roadmap

Continued support for on-chain and off-chain functionality including:

• Full script support including validation.
• Block serialization.
• Transaction creation.
• Broader BIP support including BIP32.

Contributing

We have big goals and this library is still in a very early stage. Contributions and comments are very much welcome.
