Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

DartSV is a Dart library designed for interacting with the Bitcoin network, offering developers tools to build Bitcoin-enabled applications. It is optimized for use in Flutter projects, enabling seamless integration across Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux platforms. The library supports core Bitcoin operations such as address generation, transaction creation, and cryptographic functions, making it ideal for blockchain-based apps. With its lightweight design and focus on cross-platform compatibility, DartSV simplifies Bitcoin integration without requiring native code. Its open-source nature encourages community contributions and transparency.

Use cases

  • Building Bitcoin wallets
  • Creating blockchain explorers
  • Integrating Bitcoin payments
  • Developing decentralized apps
  • Handling Bitcoin transactions

Key features

  • Bitcoin address generation
  • Transaction signing and serialization
  • Cryptographic utilities
  • Cross-platform support
  • Open-source and actively maintained

Suitable for

  • Flutter developers
  • Web3 application creators
  • Crypto-focused mobile apps
  • Blockchain beginners
  • Bitcoin protocol enthusiasts

Considerations

  • Requires understanding of Bitcoin fundamentals
  • Limited to Bitcoin-specific functionality
  • Depends on external Bitcoin nodes for full functionality
  • Not suitable for high-frequency trading
  • Best used with secure key management practices

Introduction

Dart CI

Overview

TwoStack WalletSDK is a Bitcoin library for the Dart Language ( dartlang.org ), loosely based on the Moneybutton/BSV Javascript library. This library has been built in line with the ideals espoused by BitcoinSV, i.e. massive on-chain scaling, protocol stability and original-bitcoin-protocol implementation. It is intended for use in building multi-platform applications using the Flutter framework, or server-side bitcoin applications using frameworks like Serverpod

A note about Version 2.x (August 2023)

Version 2.x of the library is a major refactor and breaks backwards compatibility with several previous library APIs.

  • A new TransactionBuilder class for composing Transactions
  • Removal of the old Builder interface which was directly attached to the Transaction class
  • A complete re-implementation of the Script Interpreter
  • The Sighash class now exposes the SigHash Pre-Image; useful when creating OP_PUSH_TX spending scripts.
  • A new ScriptBuilder class to make it easy to create custom locking/unlocking scripts.
  • Merged contributed code to have better Flutter Web support.

Generally Supported features are :

  • Custom-Script Builder Interface to support novel locking/spending conditions within Script
  • Pre-built library code to support "standard" locking/unlocking scripts
    • P2PKH Transactions
    • P2SH Transactions
    • P2MS Transactions (naked multisig)
    • P2PK Transactions
    • Data-only Transactions (locked with OP_FALSE OP_RETURN)
    • Spendable data-carrier Transactions (locked with PUSH_DATA [your_data] OP_DROP [P2PKH locking code])
  • HD Key Derivation (BIP32)
  • Original Bitcoin Address format
  • Bitcoin Signed Messages
  • Mnemonic Seed Support (BIP39)
  • A built-in Bitcoin Script Interpreter
  • ECIES Encryption / Decryption (Supports Electrum ECIES / BIE1 )
Sample of the Transaction API:
    var utxo = txWithUTXO.outputs[0]; 
    var outpoint = TransactionOutpoint(txWithUTXO.id, 0, utxo.satoshis, utxo.script);
    var signer = TransactionSigner(SighashType.SIGHASH_FORKID.value | SighashType.SIGHASH_ALL.value, privateKey);

    var unlocker = P2PKHUnlockBuilder(privateKey.publicKey);
    
    var transaction = TransactionBuilder()
        .spendFromOutpointWithSigner(signer, outpoint, TransactionInput.MAX_SEQ_NUMBER, unlocker)
        .spendToPKH(recipientAddress, BigInt.from(50000000)) //spend half of a bitcoin 
        .sendChangeToPKH(changeAddress) // spend change to a different address
        .withFeePerKb(50) //set a fee of 50 satoshis per kilobyte
        .build(false); //build the transaction, disabling checks

    //at this point you have a fully signed transaction ready to be broadcast

    try {
      transaction.verify(); //perform a pre-broadcast sanity check on the transaction
    } on VerificationException catch (ex){
      print("Transaction failed verification - ${ex.cause}");  
    }

Installation

This library was built using version 3.0.7 of the Dart SDK( https://dart.dev/tools/sdk ).
As of Version 1.0.0 this library supports Dart Null Safety. Current minimum Dart SDK version required is version 2.17.0.

Acknowledgement

A debt of gratitude is owed to the developers acknowledged in the LICENSE file. Without the hard work of individuals working on earlier library and node implementations like Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin Cash, MoneyButton/BSV, BitcoinJ and many more, this library would likely not have come to fruition. Thank you.
