Bitcoin is the original blockchain and cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. As the world's most secure and decentralized network with $1.3T+ market capitalization, Bitcoin serves as digital gold, a store of value, and the foundation for the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. With recent innovations like Ordinals, Taproot, and Lightning Network, Bitcoin continues evolving beyond simple peer-to-peer cash.

Access the original blockchain
A Bitcoin RPC node provides applications with direct access to the Bitcoin blockchain for querying transactions, monitoring addresses, broadcasting transactions, and building wallets or payment systems. As the foundation of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin's RPC interface enables developers to interact with the most secure and decentralized network in existence.
Bitcoin's simplicity is its strength. While other blockchains add features and complexity, Bitcoin focuses relentlessly on security and decentralization. The network's hash power — computational resources securing it — dwarfs all other blockchains combined. This makes Bitcoin essentially impossible to attack, creating the most trustworthy foundation for digital value.
Bitcoin advantages:
Bitcoin uses Proof of Work — miners compete to solve cryptographic puzzles using computational power. This process is intentionally resource-intensive, making attacks prohibitively expensive. Every 10 minutes, a miner wins the race, creates a block, and receives newly minted bitcoin plus transaction fees.
How Bitcoin works:
Bitcoin innovation continues with Lightning Network (instant, low-fee payments), Taproot (privacy and smart contract improvements), Ordinals (Bitcoin NFTs), and Layer 2 solutions bringing DeFi to Bitcoin. These developments expand Bitcoin's utility while maintaining its core security properties.
As the base layer for an emerging multi-layer Bitcoin ecosystem, direct RPC access enables developers to build the next generation of Bitcoin applications.
Quick start for developers
Bitcoin RPC supports standard Bitcoin Core methods:
const axios = require('axios');
const RPC_URL = 'https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/bitcoin/YOUR_API_KEY';
// Get current block height
async function getBlockHeight() {
const response = await axios.post(RPC_URL, {
jsonrpc: '2.0',
id: 1,
method: 'getblockcount',
params: []
});
console.log('Bitcoin block height:', response.data.result);
return response.data.result;
}
// Get block data
async function getBlock(blockHash) {
const response = await axios.post(RPC_URL, {
jsonrpc: '2.0',
id: 1,
method: 'getblock',
params: [blockHash, 2] // verbosity 2 = full transaction data
});
const block = response.data.result;
console.log(`Block ${block.height}: ${block.tx.length} transactions`);
return block;
}
getBlockHeight();import requests
RPC_URL = 'https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/bitcoin/YOUR_API_KEY'
def get_block_height():
payload = {
'jsonrpc': '2.0',
'id': 1,
'method': 'getblockcount',
'params': []
}
response = requests.post(RPC_URL, json=payload)
height = response.json()['result']
print(f'Bitcoin height: {height}')
return height
def get_transaction(txid):
payload = {
'jsonrpc': '2.0',
'id': 1,
'method': 'getrawtransaction',
'params': [txid, True] # True = decoded
}
response = requests.post(RPC_URL, json=payload)
tx = response.json()['result']
print(f'TX {txid[:8]}: {len(tx["vout"])} outputs')
return tx

const RPC_URL = 'https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/bitcoin/YOUR_API_KEY';
// Monitor mempool size
async function monitorMempool() {
const response = await axios.post(RPC_URL, {
jsonrpc: '2.0',
id: 1,
method: 'getmempoolinfo',
params: []
});
const mempool = response.data.result;
console.log(`Mempool: ${mempool.size} txs, ${mempool.bytes} bytes`);
console.log(`Memory usage: ${(mempool.usage / 1024 / 1024).toFixed(2)} MB`);
}
// Estimate transaction fee
async function estimateFee(blocks = 6) {
const response = await axios.post(RPC_URL, {
jsonrpc: '2.0',
id: 1,
method: 'estimatesmartfee',
params: [blocks]
});
const feeRate = response.data.result.feerate;
console.log(`Estimated fee (${blocks} blocks): ${feeRate} BTC/kB`);
return feeRate;
}
