About:
libbitcoin-network is a C++ library that implements the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network protocol. It provides the foundational networking layer for building Bitcoin nodes, wallets, and other network-aware applications, handling peer discovery, connection management, and message relay.
Key Features:
  • Implements Bitcoin P2P protocol (version 70001+)
  • Asynchronous network operations using libbitcoin's event system
  • Handles peer discovery and connection management
  • Supports message serialization and deserialization
  • Designed for integration within the larger libbitcoin ecosystem
Use Cases:
  • Building a custom Bitcoin full node or SPV client
  • Developing network analysis or monitoring tools for the Bitcoin network
  • Creating applications that require direct interaction with the Bitcoin P2P layer
Alternatives:
  • bitcoin-core – A full node implementation; libbitcoin-network is a modular library for building custom solutions.
  • btcd – A full node written in Go; libbitcoin-network is a C++ library focused solely on the network layer.
