Bitcoin Core

Bitcoin Core is the official software that runs the Bitcoin network, enabling users to send, receive, and verify transactions. It functions as a full node, maintaining a complete copy of the blockchain—the public ledger of all Bitcoin transactions—ensuring security and decentralization. By validating transactions and blocks independently, Bitcoin Core helps prevent fraud and maintain trust in the system. It also includes features for privacy and security, like wallet management. Essentially, it’s the core program that keeps the Bitcoin network operational, transparent, and secure for users worldwide.
