Bitcoin Development Kit (BDK) is a library that allows you to seamlessly build cross-platform Bitcoin wallets without worrying about bitcoin internals.
BDK is based on the powerful rust-bitcoin and rust-miniscript libraries.
Learn the simplest way to integrate Bitcoin wallet features into any application at bitcoindevkit.org.
The core libraries are developed and maintained collectively by the Bitcoin Dev Kit devs. The following table outlines those libraries as well as a lead maintainer for each of them.
