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. You can store any information, even the history of the dogecoin stock price. 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.
