What is rust-bitcoin?
Rust Bitcoin is a library for de/serialization, parsing, and executing on data structures and network messages related to Bitcoin. It provides essential tools for working with Bitcoin protocol elements like blocks, transactions, scripts, keys, and addresses in Rust. The library solves the problem of building Bitcoin applications with Rust's safety and performance guarantees.
Rust developers building Bitcoin wallets, nodes, explorers, or other cryptocurrency applications that require low-level protocol interaction. It's also suitable for embedded systems developers due to its no-std support.
Developers choose Rust Bitcoin for its comprehensive Bitcoin protocol support, safety due to Rust's memory guarantees, and performance. Its focus on correctness and maintainability, along with no-std compatibility, makes it a reliable foundation for Bitcoin applications.
