Explore Bitcoin, the world’s first decentralized digital currency. Discover how it revolutionized peer-to-peer transactions and blockchain.
Bitcoin’s RPC documentation offers developers a comprehensive guide to programmatically interact with the original blockchain network. This documentation details the API endpoints needed to query transaction data, submit new transactions, and manage wallets. Operating on a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism, Bitcoin ensures security and decentralization at scale. Developers can utilize the RPC gateway to build applications such as payment gateways and wallets while leveraging Bitcoin’s global recognition and robust infrastructure.
