NBitcoin is the most complete Bitcoin library for the .NET framework, implementing all relevant Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs) and providing low-level access to Bitcoin primitives. It supports Windows, Mac, and Linux via .NET, .NET Core, Xamarin, and Unity, with an optional NBitcoin.Altcoins package for altcoin support.
Use cases
- build a bitcoin wallet in C#
- create and sign bitcoin transactions from .NET
- generate BIP39 mnemonics and derive HD wallets (BIP32)
- parse and validate raw bitcoin transactions
- build a bitcoin payment processor in ASP.NET
- interact with bitcoin testnet and regtest for development
- implement multisig and segwit addresses in .NET
When to choose
- you are building any Bitcoin-related application on .NET, .NET Core, Xamarin, or Unity
- you need comprehensive BIP coverage and low-level Bitcoin primitives in C#
- you want a mature, MIT-licensed library with good documentation and unit tests
When to avoid
- your project is not on the .NET platform
- you need a full Bitcoin node implementation rather than a library
- you need support for non-Bitcoin chains not covered by NBitcoin.Altcoins
