About Blockcore
Open source .NET Bitcoin based blockchain node in C#
Do you want to build your own blockchain based upon Blockcore? Then check out our blockcore-node repository, which is the best starting point for most custom blockchains.
Introduction
Bitcoin Implementation in C# and .NET 6
What is Blockcore?
- Blockcore is a platform to build Layer 1 consensus networks based on the Bitcoin protocol, built on the .NET Core framework and written entirely in C#.
- Blockcore aims to maintain an alternative C# Bitcoin implementation, based on the NBitcoin & Stratis projects.
- Blockcore is neither a coin or a for profit business.
Why Blockcore?
- We see a need within the crypto ecosystem for development of the C# full node technology.
- Stratis has provided an excellent starting point but their focus is enterprise and business. We feel strongly that there is significant value focusing on open & public blockchains, using open source software.
Blockcore objectives
- Continue development of the C# Stratis fullnode.
- Maintain the C# Bitcoin fullnode.
- Support projects and teams that use the underlying technology.
- Extend the technology by building developer and user tools
- Provide a forum for developers and teams to collaborate and improve on the technology.
- Build relationships with potential sponsors & partners to help boost the pace of development.
Blockcore principles
- We help each other, and all projects that utilise the underlying technology.
- We encourage contribution to the Blockcore open source software.
- We aim to make it easier for everyone to contribute to the ecosystem.
- We encourage projects to adopt Blockcore technology as we believe every project has something to offer and help make the technology stronger.
