The bdk_wallet
crate provides the Wallet
type which is a simple, high-level
interface built from the low-level components of bdk_chain
. Wallet
is a good starting point
for many simple applications as well as a good demonstration of how to use the other mechanisms to
construct a wallet. It has two keychains (external and internal) which are defined by
miniscript descriptors and uses them to generate addresses. When you give it
chain data it also uses the descriptors to find transaction outputs owned by them. From there, you
can create and sign transactions.
For details about the API of Wallet
see the module-level documentation.
In order to get blockchain data for Wallet
to consume, you should configure a client from
an available chain source. Typically you make a request to the chain source and get a response
that the Wallet
can use to update its view of the chain.
Blockchain Data Sources
bdk_esplora
: Grabs blockchain data from Esplora for updating BDK structures.bdk_electrum
: Grabs blockchain data from Electrum for updating BDK structures.bdk_bitcoind_rpc
: Grabs blockchain data from Bitcoin Core for updating BDK structures.
Examples
example-crates/wallet_esplora_async
example-crates/wallet_esplora_blocking
example-crates/wallet_electrum
example-crates/wallet_rpc
To persist the Wallet
on disk, it must be constructed with a PersistBackend
implementation.
Implementations
bdk_file_store
: A simple flat-file implementation ofPersistBackend
.
Example
use bdk_wallet::{bitcoin::Network, wallet::{ChangeSet, Wallet}};
fn main() {
// Create a new file `Store`.
let db = bdk_file_store::Store::<ChangeSet>::open_or_create_new(b"magic_bytes", "path/to/my_wallet.db").expect("create store");
let descriptor = "wpkh(tprv8ZgxMBicQKsPdcAqYBpzAFwU5yxBUo88ggoBqu1qPcHUfSbKK1sKMLmC7EAk438btHQrSdu3jGGQa6PA71nvH5nkDexhLteJqkM4dQmWF9g/84'/1'/0'/0/*)";
let change_descriptor = "wpkh(tprv8ZgxMBicQKsPdcAqYBpzAFwU5yxBUo88ggoBqu1qPcHUfSbKK1sKMLmC7EAk438btHQrSdu3jGGQa6PA71nvH5nkDexhLteJqkM4dQmWF9g/84'/1'/0'/1/*)";
let mut wallet = Wallet::new_or_load(descriptor, change_descriptor, db, Network::Testnet).expect("create or load wallet");
// Insert a single `TxOut` at `OutPoint` into the wallet.
let _ = wallet.insert_txout(outpoint, txout);
wallet.commit().expect("must write to database");
