Node software for BitVault, a multi-algorithm proof-of-work Layer 1 blockchain. The coin is BVT. This repository holds the source of the BitVault node, the version published below (see Releases). It follows the live network's rules, and a new node downloads the whole chain from block 0.

- Contact (exchanges, pools, developers): support@bitvault.club
- Public mining opens with the official launch on 7 February 2027. Until then the network accepts no new blocks, so the chain stands still at its current height and transactions do not confirm. A new node can download the whole chain and run normally now.
- Blocks up to height 43,076 (the last built-in checkpoint) were mined under earlier difficulty rules and keep the difficulty they were mined with. The checkpoints tie them to the one real chain, and every later block must follow today's rule.
- Every block also carries a signature from the network's validator key (held by the BitVault team). Nodes check it with the validator's public key, which is built into the node.

See BUILDING-BITVAULT.md if present, and doc/build-unix.md. In short, on Linux:
./autogen.sh
./configure --without-gui
make -C src -j"$(nproc)" bitvaultd bitvault-cli
Ready-made Linux binaries and their SHA-256 sums are attached to each release on this page.
Run bitvaultd with your own data folder, let it sync, and use the standard RPC calls (getnewaddress, getreceivedbyaddress,
listtransactions, sendtoaddress, getblockcount, …). Please contact support@bitvault.club before opening deposits:
we share seed nodes and the recommended number of confirmations.
