BitcoinToken is a Javascript library for adding payments and smart contracts to web applications.
It is available as an npm package containing three tools: a wallet, a database that stores data on the blockchain, and a token solution. BitcoinToken compiles smart contracts into Bitcoin Cash which makes it possible to evaluate them at a extremely low cost. We are in prototype stage and plan to launch towards the end of the year.
create new wallet
> const wallet = new BitcoinWallet()
get a deposit address to fund your wallet
> const address = wallet.getAddress()
send 1 bitcoin to a friend
> await wallet.send(1, <friends address>)
BitcoinWallet is a HD Bitcoin Cash wallet that can store, send, and receive Bitcoin Cash. It works in the browser and in node.
create new bitcoinDb from your wallet
> const db = new BitcoinDb(wallet)
store json data on the blockchain
> const id = db.put({ hello: 'world' })
retrive data stored on the blockchain
> const data = db.get(id)
BitcoinDb is a easy to use database system. No need to rent a server, BitcoinDb is already up and running. It is always online, available worldwide, and censorship resistant. It syncs across the globe within seconds making it possible to write real-time applications on top of it. Reading from BitcoinDb is free and as fast as reading from any other db. Writing costs about $5 per mb. Data will be stored indefinitely without recurring cost.
create new token from a BitcoinDb
> const token = new BitcoinToken(bitcoinDb)
issue the token
> await token.create({ balance: 1000 })
send 1 token to a friend
> await token.send(1, <friends public key>)
BitcoinToken makes it easy to add tokens to web applications. You can issue a token in a few lines of Javascript, no prior blockchain knowledge required.
We currently support ERC20-style fungible tokens. Support for non-fungible tokens will be added soon. Eventually, you will be able to program your own smart contracts using BitcoinToken.
