Take a look at this source file [1], the wallet support bitcoin, bitcoin testnet and litecoin. But the format is straightforward and it should be easy to add other bitcoin-forked cryptocurrencies. [1] https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib/blob/master/src/networks.js

@tuyennvtb I think the question is a bit open-ended. It is akin to asking how many drinks can you make with water as the base ingredient? I think the answer is, as many as you can think of!

There is no reason you couldn't use this library for a consensus node, so be it for you to write the necessary code. It is used by many SPV wallets, and standard "web-wallets".

BIP32, BIP44, BIP49, you name it. It is up to you!
