Homepage Documentation Floresta is a lightweight and embeddable Bitcoin client designed for users and applications that want strong validation guarantees without the operational overhead of traditional full nodes. It can be run as a standalone fully validating node or embedded as a library, allowing developers to reuse the same client components across different applications and deployments. Name Floresta is the Portuguese word for forest. It is a reference to the Utreexo accumulator, which is a forest of Merkle trees. It's pronounced /floˈɾɛstɐ/ . Architecture Floresta is written in Rust and implements modern Bitcoin validation techniques such as Utreexo, PoW Fraud Proofs, and pruning, to significantly reduce resource requirements while preserving trust and security. Floresta is composed of two main components: libfloresta and florestad . libfloresta is a collection of reusable components that can be integrated into Bitcoin applications. florestad builds on top of libfloresta to provide a full node daemon, including a watch-only wallet and an Electrum server. If you only want to run a node, you can use florestad by building it from source, following the instructions for Unix or MacOS. Consensus Implementation One of the most challenging parts of working with Bitcoin is keeping up with the consensus rules. Given its nature as a consensus protocol, it's very important to make sure that the implementat","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/getfloresta","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/getfloresta/Floresta/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
