Bitcoin, BitcoinCash(ABC) and Dash wallet toolkit for Swift. This is a full implementation of SPV node including wallet creation/restore, synchronization with network, send/receive transactions, and more. The repository includes the main BitcoinCore.swift and BitcoinKit.swift, BitcoinCashKit.swift and DashKit.swift separate pods.
- Full SPV implementation for fast mobile performance
- Send/Receive Legacy transactions (P2PKH, P2PK, P2SH)
- BIP32 hierarchical deterministic wallets implementation.
- BIP39 mnemonic code for generating deterministic keys.
- BIP44 multi-account hierarchy for deterministic wallets.
- BIP21 URI schemes, which include payment address, amount, label and other params
- Send/Receive Segwit transactions (P2WPKH)
- Send/Receive Segwit transactions compatible with legacy wallets (P2WPKH-SH)
- base58, bech32
- bech32 cashaddr addresses
- Instant send
- LLMQ lock, Masternodes validation
On this page, we'll use Kits to refer to one of BitcoinKit.swift, BitcoinCashKit.swift and DashKit.swift kits.
Kits requires you to provide mnemonic phrase when it is initialized:
let words = ["word1", ... , "word12"]let bitcoinKit = BitcoinKit(withWords: words, walletId: "bitcoin-wallet-id", syncMode: .api, networkType: .mainNet)let bitcoinCashKit = BitcoinCashKit(withWords: words, walletId: "bitcoin-cash-wallet-id", syncMode: .api, networkType: .mainNet)let dashKit = DashKit(withWords: words, walletId: "dash-wallet-id", syncMode: .api, networkType: .mainNet)All 3 Kits can be configured to work in .mainNet or .testNet.
Kits can restore existing wallet or create a new one. When restoring, it generates addresses for given wallet according to bip44 protocol, then it pulls all historical transactions for each of those addresses. This is done only once on initial sync. syncMode parameter defines where it pulls historical transactions from. When they are pulled, it continues to sync according to SPV protocol no matter which syncMode was used for initial sync. There are 3 modes available:
.full: Fully synchronizes from peer-to-peer network starting from the block when bip44 was introduced. This mode is the most private (since it fully complies with SPV protocol), but it takes approximately 2 hours to sync upto now (June 10, 2019)..api: Transactions before checkpoint are pulled from API(currently Insight API or BcoinAPI). Then the rest is synchronized from peer-to-peer network. This is the fastest one, but it's possible for an attacker to learn which addresses you own. Checkpoints are updated with each new release and hardcoded so the blocks validation is not broken..newWallet: No need to pull transactions.
confirmationsThreshold: Minimum number of confirmations required for an unspent output in incoming transaction to be spent (default: 6)minLogLevel: Can be configured for debug purposes if required.
Kits require to be started with start command. It will be in synced state as long as it is possible. You can call stop to stop it
bitcoinKit.start()
bitcoinKit.stop()Kits hold all kinds of data obtained from and needed for working with blockchain network
Balance is provided in Satoshi:

try bitcoinKit.send(to: "mrjQyzbX9SiJxRC2mQhT4LvxFEmt9KEeRY", value: 1000000, feeRate: 10000)This first validates a given address and amount, creates new transaction, then sends it over the peers network. If there's any error with given address/amount or network, it raises an exception.
One can validate address and fee by using following methods:
try bitcoinKit.validate(address: "mrjQyzbX9SiJxRC2mQhT4LvxFEmt9KEeRY")
try bitcoinKit.fee(for: 1000000, toAddress: "mrjQyzbX9SiJxRC2mQhT4LvxFEmt9KEeRY", senderPay: true, feeRate: 10000)senderPay parameter defines who pays the fee
You can use parse method to parse a BIP21 URI:
bitcoinKit.parse(paymentAddress: "bitcoin:175tWpb8K1S7NmH4Zx6rewF9WQrcZv245W?amount=50&label=Luke-Jr&message=Donation%20for%20project%20xyz")
// ▿ BitcoinPaymentData

// - version : nil
// ▿ amount : Optional<Double>
// - some : 50.0
// ▿ label : Optional<String>
// - some : "Luke-Jr"
// ▿ message : Optional<String>
// - some : "Donation for project xyz"
// - parameters : nilKits provide with data like transactions, blocks, balance, kits state in real-time. BitcoinCoreDelegate protocol must be implemented and set to Kits instance to receive that data.

}Listener events are run in a dedicated background thread. It can be switched to main thread by setting the delegateQueue property to DispatchQueue.main

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:
$ gem install cocoapodsCocoaPods 1.5.0+ is required to build BitcoinKit.
To integrate BitcoinKit into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!
target '<Your Target Name>' do
pod 'BitcoinCore.swift'
pod 'BitcoinKit.swift'
pod 'BitcoinCashKit.swift'
pod 'DashKit.swift'
endThen, run the following command:
$ pod installAll features of the library are used in example project. It can be referred as a starting point for usage of the library.
- HSHDWalletKit - HD Wallet related features, mnemonic phrase geneartion.
- HSCryptoKit - Crypto functions required for working with blockchain.
