Bitcore is a full bitcoin node — your apps run directly on the peer-to-peer network. For wallet application development, additional indexes have been added into Bitcoin for querying address balances, transaction history, and unspent outputs.
Bitcore is 100% open source, powered by the time-tested and battle-hardened Bitcore Library.
Apps built on Bitcore benefit from the extensive testing and review of dozens of bitcoin companies and community contributors.
Bitcore provides a powerful blockchain API and the Insight blockchain explorer, right out of the box.
A modular, service-based architecture makes Bitcore a perfect platform for enterprise applications.
