Practical overview

When it fits

Use Bitmask Core when developing software that needs BitMask wallet functionality and Bitcoin support with the documented RGB and Lightning capabilities.

Who it is for

  • Developers building Bitcoin wallet applications or integrations.
  • Teams exploring RGB assets or contracts alongside Bitcoin wallet functionality.
  • Developers who want a documented WebAssembly, NodeJS or local REST-server build path.

Documented uses

  • Build wallet functionality for a Bitcoin web application.
  • Compile the wallet core for a WebAssembly or NodeJS application.
  • Run bitmaskd with a REST server for web-wallet testing or increased privacy.
  • Exercise wallet behavior in the documented Docker-based Regtest setup.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project is open source and its README displays an MIT+Apache license badge.

  • The project is a library and wallet core, not the BitMask web wallet or browser extension itself.
  • The README documents WebAssembly, x86-64 and NodeJS build paths, but does not demonstrate integration into a particular application.
  • The local REST server is documented for testing or increased privacy; production deployment characteristics are not described.
  • The README notes possible environment-variable requirements for compiling on macOS with Apple silicon.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Start the local bitmaskd REST server

Install the project with its server feature and start bitmaskd.

Before you start

  • A Rust development environment.

Steps

  1. From the project directory, run the command below.

    Documented command
    cargo install --features=server --path .

  2. Run bitmaskd.

Expected outcome

A running bitmaskd node with a REST server, described for web-wallet testing or increased privacy.

Guide limitations

  • The repository does not establish production deployment characteristics.
