A Multisig HD Bitcore Wallet Service.

Description

Bitcore Wallet Service facilitates multisig HD wallets creation and operation through a (hopefully) simple and intuitive REST API.

BWS can usually be installed within minutes and accommodates all the needed infrastructure for peers in a multisig wallet to communicate and operate – with minimum server trust.

See Bitcore-wallet-client for the official client library that communicates to BWS and verifies its response. Also check Bitcore-wallet for a simple CLI wallet implementation that relies on BWS.

BWS is been used in production enviroments for Copay Wallet, Bitpay App wallet and others.

More about BWS at https://blog.bitpay.com/announcing-the-bitcore-wallet-suite/

Getting Started

 git clone https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-wallet-service.git
 cd bitcore-wallet-service
 npm install
 npm start

This will launch the BWS service (with default settings) at http://localhost:3232/bws/api.

BWS needs mongoDB. You can configure the connection at config.js

BWS supports SSL and Clustering. For a detailed guide on installing BWS with extra features see Installing BWS.

BWS uses by default a Request Rate Limitation to CreateWallet endpoint. If you need to modify it, check defaults.js' Defaults.RateLimit

Using BWS with PM2

BWS can be used with PM2 with the provided app.js script:

  pm2 start app.js --name "bitcoin-wallet-service"

Security Considerations

  • Private keys are never sent to BWS. Copayers store them locally.
  • Extended public keys are stored on BWS. This allows BWS to easily check wallet balance, send offline notifications to copayers, etc.
  • During wallet creation, the initial copayer creates a wallet secret that contains a private key. All copayers need to prove they have the secret by signing their information with this private key when joining the wallet. The secret should be shared using secured channels.
  • A copayer could join the wallet more than once, and there is no mechanism to prevent this. See wallet's confirm command, for a method for confirming copayers.
  • All BWS responses are verified:
  • Addresses and change addresses are derived independently and locally by the copayers from their local data.
  • TX Proposals templates are signed by copayers and verified by others, so the BWS cannot create or tamper with them.

Using SSL

You can add your certificates at the config.js using:

   https: true,
   privateKeyFile: 'private.pem',
   certificateFile: 'cert.pem',
  ////// The following is only for certs which are not
  ////// trusted by nodejs 'https' by default
  ////// CAs like Verisign do not require this
  // CAinter1: '', // ex. 'COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt'
  // CAinter2: '', // ex. 'COMODORSAAddTrustCA.crt'
  // CAroot: '', // ex. 'AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt'

@dabura667 made a report about how to use letsencrypt with BWS: bitpay#423

REST API

Note: all currency amounts are in units of satoshis (1/100,000,000 of a bitcoin).

Authentication

In order to access a wallet, clients are required to send the headers:

  x-identity
  x-signature

Identity is the Peer-ID, this will identify the peer and its wallet. Signature is the current request signature, using requestSigningKey, the m/1/1 derivative of the Extended Private Key.

See Bitcore Wallet Client for implementation details.
