Bitcore (by Bitpay)

Bitcoin Nodes

Bitcore is an open-source Bitcoin node and JavaScript library developed by Bitpay, providing a full Bitcoin node implementation in Node.js along with APIs for transaction creation, address management, and blockchain querying. It powers several Bitcoin payment processors and developer toolkits. Bitcore's modular architecture allows developers to build Bitcoin applications on top of a JavaScript-native full node without the overhead of running Bitcoin Core directly.
