Understand the project
Practical overview
When it fits
Use Coins when a Rust-based signer project needs the documented derivation, mnemonic, or Ledger communication tooling and needs to consider native or WebAssembly targets.
Who it is for
- Rust developers building blockchain signer components.
- Teams developing browser or Node.js signer tooling that can use WebAssembly targets.
Documented uses
- Add BIP32 and BIP39 functionality to signer development.
- Integrate Ledger device communication into a blockchain signer.
- Use WebAssembly-compatible packages in browser or Node.js signer projects.
Before you choose
Requirements & limits
- The README describes much of the project as alpha or beta, with interfaces subject to change.
- The repository separates documentation for its BIP32, BIP39 and Ledger packages.
- The README identifies prior UTXO transaction-construction work as archived material, distinct from the current signer-toolbox scope.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
