Payments

BTC has several UTXO types:

• P2PK: Legacy, from 2010
• P2PKH, P2SH, P2MS: Classic
• P2WPKH, P2WSH: classic, SegWit
• P2TR: Taproot, recommended

For test examples, the usage is as following:

npm install @scure/btc-signer @scure/base assert

import * as btc from '@scure/btc-signer';
import { hex } from '@scure/base';
import { deepStrictEqual, throws } from 'assert';

P2PK (Pay To Public Key)

Legacy script, doesn't have an address. Must be wrapped in P2SH / P2WSH / P2SH-P2WSH. Not recommended.

const uncompressed = hex.decode(
  '04ad90e5b6bc86b3ec7fac2c5fbda7423fc8ef0d58df594c773fa05e2c281b2bfe877677c668bd13603944e34f4818ee03cadd81a88542b8b4d5431264180e2c28'
);

deepStrictEqual(btc.p2pk(uncompressed), {
  type: 'pk',
  script: hex.decode(
    '4104ad90e5b6bc86b3ec7fac2c5fbda7423fc8ef0d58df594c773fa05e2c281b2bfe877677c668bd13603944e34f4818ee03cadd81a88542b8b4d5431264180e2c28ac'
  ),
});

P2PKH (Public Key Hash)

Classic (pre-SegWit) address.

const PubKey = hex.decode('030000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001');

});

P2MS (classic multisig)

Classic / segwit (pre-taproot) M-of-N Multisig. Doesn't have an address, must be wrapped in P2SH / P2WSH / P2SH-P2WSH.

Duplicate public keys are not accepted to reduce mistakes. Use flag allowSamePubkeys to override the behavior, for cases like 2-of-[A,A,B,C], which can be signed by A or (B and C).

const PubKeys = [

P2TR (Taproot)

TapRoot (SegWit V1) script which replaces both public key and script types from previous versions.

Consumes p2tr(PubKey?, ScriptTree?) and works as PubKey OR ScriptTree, which means if you use any spendable PubKey and ScriptTree of multi-sig, owner of private key for PubKey will be able to spend output. If PubKey is undefined we use static unspendable PubKey by default, which leaks information about script type. However, any dynamic unspendable keys will require complex interaction to sign multi-sig wallets, and there is no BIP/PSBT fields for that yet.

Required tx input fields to make it spendable: tapInternalKey, tapMerkleRoot, tapLeafScript

P2TR-NS (Taproot multisig)

Taproot N-of-N multisig ([<PubKeys[0:n-1]> CHECKSIGVERIFY] <PubKeys[n-1]> CHECKSIG).

First arg is M, if M!=PubKeys.length, it will create a multi-leaf M-of-N taproot script tree. This allows one to reveal only M PubKeys on spend, without any information about the others. This is fast for cases like 15-of-20, but extremely slow for cases like 5-of-20.

Duplicate public keys are not accepted to reduce mistakes. Use flag allowSamePubkeys to override the behavior, for cases like 2-of-[A,A,B,C], which can be signed by A or (B and C).

const PubKey = hex.decode('0101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101');

Transaction

Encode/decode

We support both PSBTv0 and draft PSBTv2 (there is no PSBTv1). If PSBTv2 transaction is encoded into PSBTv1, all PSBTv2 fields will be stripped.

We strip 'unknown' keys inside PSBT, they needed for new version/features support, however any unsupported feature/new version can significantly break assumptions about code. If you have use-case where they are needed, create a github issue.

PSBTv2 features tx_modifiable and taproot+bip32 are not supported yet.

// Decode
Transaction.fromRaw(raw: Bytes, opts: TxOpts = {}); // Raw tx
Transaction.fromPSBT(psbt: Bytes, opts: TxOpts = {}); // PSBT tx
// Encode
tx.unsignedTx; // Bytes of raw unsigned tx
tx.hex; // hex encoded signed raw tx
tx.toPSBT(ver = this.PSBTVersion); // PSBT

Inputs

We have txid (BE) instead of hash (LE) in transactions. We can support both, but txid is consistent across block explorers, while some explorers treat hash as txid - so hash is not consistent.

Use getInput and inputsLength to read information about inputs: they return a copy. This is necessary to avoid accidental modification of internal structures without calling methods (addInput/updateInput) that will verify correctness.

  txid?: Bytes,

Outputs

addOutputAddress uses bigint amounts, which means satoshis - NOT btc. If you need btc representation, use Decimal:

const amountSatoshi = btc.Decimal.decode('1.5'); // 1.5 btc in satoshi

Use getOutput and outputsLength to read outputs information. This methods returns copy of output, instead of internal representation. This is necessary to avoid accidental modification of internal structures without calling methods (addOutput/updateOutput) that will verify correctness.

UTXO selection

UTXO selection is the process of choosing which UTXOs to use as inputs when making an on-chain bitcoin payment. The library:

• can create tx, integrated with the signer
• ensures change address is always specified
• supports bip69
• supports segwit + taproot
• calculates weight with good precision
• implements multiple strategies

Taproot estimation is precise, but you have to pass sighash if you want to use non-default one, because it changes signature size. For complex taproot trees you need to filter tapLeafScript to include only leafs which you can sign we estimate size with smallest leaf (same as finalization), but in specific case keys for this leaf can be unavailable (complex multisig)

Oldest / Newest expects UTXO provided in historical order (oldest first), otherwise we have no way to detect age of tx.

Strategies

Strategy selection is complicated. Best should be: exactBiggest/accumSmallest.

exactBiggest/accumBiggest creates tx with smallest fees, but it breaks big outputs to small ones, which in the end will create a lot of outputs close to dust.

• default: good for privacy, same as exactBiggest/accumBiggest
• all: send all coins to change address (consolidation)
• accum: accumulates inputs until the target value (+fees) is reached, skipping detrimental inputs
• exact: accumulates inputs until the target value (+fees) is matched, does not accumulate inputs that go over the target value (within a threshold)
• accumNewest
• accumOldest
• accumSmallest
• accumBiggest
• exactNewest/accumNewest
• exactNewest/accumOldest
• exactNewest/accumSmallest
• exactNewest/accumBiggest

• Real code for ordinals / inscriptions / runes
• CLI tool that allows to upload files as inscriptions
• Example usage of custom scripts

Security

The library has been independently audited:

• at version 0.3.0, in Feb 2023, by cure53
  • PDFs: online, offline
  • Changes since audit.
  • The audit has been funded by Ryan Shea

UTXO selection functionality has not been audited yet. Commit 58d4554 split the library from one into several files to ease future maintainability.

Supply chain security

1. Commits are signed with PGP keys, to prevent forgery. Make sure to verify commit signatures.
2. Releases are transparent and built on GitHub CI. Make sure to verify provenance logs
3. Rare releasing is followed. The less often it is done, the less code dependents would need to audit
4. Dependencies are minimal:
   • All deps are prevented from automatic updates and have locked-down version ranges. Every update is checked with npm-diff
   • Updates themselves are rare, to ensure rogue updates are not catched accidentally
   • noble-hashes provides hashing functionality
   • noble-curves provides elliptic curve cryptography
   • scure-base provides bech32 / base64
   • micro-packed provides binary encoding - it has not been audited
5. devDependencies are only used if you want to contribute to the repo. They are disabled for end-users:
   • scure-bip32, micro-packed-debugger and micro-should are developed by the same author and follow identical security practices
   • prettier (linter), fast-check (property-based testing) and typescript are used for code quality, vector generation and ts compilation. The packages are big, which makes it hard to audit their source code thoroughly and fully

We consider infrastructure attacks like rogue NPM modules very important; that's why it's crucial to minimize the amount of 3rd-party dependencies & native bindings. If your app uses 500 dependencies, any dep could get hacked and you'll be downloading malware with every install. Our goal is to minimize this attack vector.

If you see anything unusual: investigate and report.
