Bitcoin Dev Kit

The Bitcoin Dev Kit project (formerly Magical Bitcoin 🧙) is building tools and libraries designed to be a solid foundation for descriptor based Bitcoin wallets

Hey there 👋

Bitcoin Development Kit (BDK) is a suite of software libraries that allows you to build secure, feature-rich, and cross-platform Bitcoin wallets.

Most of the BDK projects are based on the powerful rust-bitcoin and rust-miniscript libraries.

The home page for the overarching BDK project and the BDK Foundation that supports it is bitcoindevkit.org.

Project Tiers

We provide the technical infrastructure to maintain a number of software and documentation projects across different maturity levels and support models. To help you navigate these projects, we've categorized them along two dimensions: Maturity Level (Stable or Experimental) and Support Model (Foundation or Community). See "The Book of BDK" chapter on library tiers for more details.

The lead and secondary maintainers for each project are responsible for:

  • triaging new issues and PRs
  • providing guidance to contributors
  • reviewing and merging changes based on rough consensus
  • making and publishing releases
