The high performance Bitcoin full node based on libbitcoin-system, libbitcoin-database, and libbitcoin-network.
This is the node component of libbitcoin v4. It integrates the basic components and offers a high performance Bitcoin full node. It makes heavy use of the available hardware, internet connection and availabe RAM and CPU so you can sync the Bitcoin blockchain from genesis, today and in the future.
This component contains no executable as it moved up to libbitcoin-server. If you want to build and run your own libbitcoin server, check out the corresponding module bs at libbitcoin-server.

About libbitcoin
The libbitcoin toolkit is a set of cross platform C++ libraries for building Bitcoin applications. The toolkit consists of several libraries, most of which depend on the foundational libbitcoin-system library. Each library's repository can be cloned and built separately. There are no packages yet in distribution, however each library includes an installation script (described below) which is regularly verified via github actions.
