About:
libbitcoin-protocol is a C++ library that implements the Bitcoin Blockchain Query Protocol (BBQP), enabling efficient querying of blockchain data. It provides a standardized interface for requesting blocks, transactions, and other blockchain information from remote servers. The library is designed for performance and integration into applications that need programmatic access to Bitcoin's blockchain state.

Key Features:

Implements Bitcoin Blockchain Query Protocol (BBQP)
Provides high-performance C++ API for blockchain queries
Supports querying blocks, transactions, and chain state
Designed for integration with libbitcoin ecosystem components
Enables efficient server-client blockchain data exchange

Use Cases:

Building Bitcoin blockchain explorers or analytics tools
Developing wallet applications that need direct blockchain queries
Creating custom Bitcoin nodes or services with specialized query interfaces
Integrating blockchain data into financial or research applications

Alternatives:

bitcoin-core – Full node implementation with RPC API, heavier and more resource-intensive than a dedicated query protocol library
electrumx – Server for Electrum wallet protocol, focused on SPV wallets rather than general blockchain querying
