Bitcoin Core
The reference Bitcoin full node and wallet. Validates every transaction independently, strengthens the network, and provides maximum sovereignty.
Bitcoin Core is the reference implementation of the Bitcoin protocol, maintained by an open community of contributors since 2009. Running Bitcoin Core means running a full node: you download and independently verify every block and transaction in Bitcoin's history, trust no third party, and actively contribute to the network's decentralization. The built-in wallet supports descriptor-based accounts, multisig, watch-only wallets, and native Tor integration. Bitcoin Core is the highest-trust, most sovereign way to hold and transact Bitcoin — no third-party servers, no assumptions, no single point of failure. Requires approximately 650GB+ of storage and meaningful initial sync time. Available on Windows, macOS, and Linux (x86, ARM, RISC-V, ppc64). Open source under the MIT license on GitHub.
