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
