Bitcore is a full-stack monorepo from BitPay providing infrastructure for building Bitcoin and blockchain-based applications, including a blockchain API node, multisig wallet service, CLI, and JavaScript libraries for multiple coins. It bundles libraries for transaction creation, address derivation, BIP standards, and peer-to-peer networking, plus the Insight blockchain explorer UI.
Use cases
- build a bitcoin payment backend
- run a blockchain explorer
- create a multisig wallet service
- derive addresses and sign transactions in JavaScript
- connect to bitcoin p2p network
- interact with multiple blockchain RPCs
- build a litecoin or dogecoin app
When to choose
- building bitcoin or multi-coin wallet/payment applications in Node.js or TypeScript
- you need a self-hosted blockchain API and explorer
- you want battle-tested libraries for BIP32/BIP39/BIP70 standards
When to avoid
- you only need Ethereum or smart-contract chains (limited support)
- you want a lightweight single-purpose library rather than a full platform
- you need a non-JavaScript language stack
