caravand
Bitcoin fullnode OCaml implementation. Caravand will be usable as a standalone bitcoin node with a REST api interface.
Caravand is directly connected to other 3 projects:
- Bitcoinml: https://github.com/dakk/bitcoinml/
- Secp256k1-ml: https://github.com/dakk/secp256k1-ml
- Letlight: https://github.com/dakk/letlight
Features
- Chain syncronization for Bitcoin, Bitcoin testnet and Bitcoincash
- Header-first syncronization
- Block storage
- UTXO storage
- Account storage (balance, sent, txs, utxo)
- JSON REST api interface
- Prune-mode for low disk footprint
- Segregated witness
- Caravand-as-a-library for applications who need blockchain data
- Lazy evaluation for block parsing which reduces memory footprint
We are planning to integrate other cool features:
- JSON-RPC api compatible with Bitcoind
- Bloom filtering and compactblock
- Side-chain
- Pluggable script systems
