A suite of Rust libraries for building modern, lightweight, descriptor-based Bitcoin wallets, built on rust-bitcoin and rust-miniscript. It provides modular crates for chain data indexing and syncing via Electrum, Esplora, or bitcoind RPC backends.
Use cases
- build a bitcoin wallet application in rust
- create descriptor-based bitcoin wallets
- handle multisig bitcoin wallets with miniscript
- sync wallet state from an electrum or esplora server
- construct and sign PSBTs for bitcoin transactions
- embed bitcoin wallet functionality into a mobile or desktop app
When to choose
- you need a well-reviewed, modular Rust library for Bitcoin wallet logic
- you want descriptor-based wallet management with flexible chain data sources
- you're building lightweight (non-full-node) wallets
When to avoid
- you need a full-node wallet implementation
- you want a ready-made wallet application rather than a library
- you need non-Bitcoin cryptocurrencies
