Bitcoin Knots
Full Bitcoin node with enhanced features, mempool visualization, and wallet support.
About
Bitcoin Knots is a full Bitcoin node implementation with additional features beyond the reference client. It provides complete verification of the entire blockchain, enabling you to use Bitcoin without trusting third parties. Features include wallet functionality for sending/receiving BTC, full mempool visualization, RBF (Replace-By-Fee) support, advanced transaction fee estimation, custom filters for SPV clients, and access to network statistics. Running your own node gives you maximum privacy and security - you verify all transactions yourself without leaking addresses to block explorers.
