Haskoin

Haskoin is an implementation of the Bitcoin protocol in Haskell.

Features

Haskoin is a package implementing the Bitcoin protocol specifications. It is written in pure Haskell and the library is implemented mostly with pure functions (no IO monad). It provides the following features:

ECDSA cryptographic primitives (secp256k1)
Hashing functions (sha-256, ripemd-160)
Base58 encoding
BIP32 extended key derivations
BIP39 mnemonic key
Script parsing and evaluation
Building and signing of standard transactions (regular, multisig, p2sh)
Deterministic signing (rfc-6979)
Network protocol type parsing
Headerchain implementation (Blockchain with headers only)
Bloom filters and partial merkle tree library
Headers-first SPV node implementation (network-only, no wallet)
JSON-RPC/Stratum client library

A wallet implementation using the SPV node library is available in the haskoin-wallet package.
