Implementing support for a new coin for external developers

Support for coin is implemented as a separate module that depends on the module bitcoincore. This repository contains modules for supporting coins like Bitcoin, BitcoinCash and Dash. Support for a new coin should be implemented in the owners repository.

Structure of module

The module depends on the bitcoincore. This dependency can be added via JitPack repository.

In the main build.gradle add the JitPack repository:

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

Add the following dependency to module build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.horizontalsystems.bitcoin-kit-android:bitcoincore:${version}'
}

It implements AbstractKit and Network interfaces (abstract classes).

Customizing can be done in 2 places:

  1. Via BitcoinCoreBuilder when building BitcoinCore
  2. Via BitcoinCore

There are multiple places that can be customized. See the modules bitcoinkit, bitcoincashkit and dashkit for reference. If you need a new extension point please add an issue.

When the module is released let us know about it. We will review it and decide whether to add it to Unstoppable wallet app.
