btclib_node is a bitcoin node with its consensus and network code written in python, using the btclib bitcoin library.

btclib_node succeded in downloading and validating the entire bitcoin blokchain, starting from version 0.1.0 and, as far as I can tell, is the first python implementatin that was able to do so

The project uses hatch as a project manager.

Some additional tools are required to develop and test btclib_node, they can be installed using poetry:
