Dashcore Library
A pure and powerful JavaScript Dash library.
Dash is a powerful new peer-to-peer platform for the next generation of financial technology. The decentralized nature of the Dash network allows for highly resilient Dash infrastructure, and the developer community needs reliable, open-source tools to implement Dash apps and services.

Install
NodeJS
npm install @dashevo/dashcore-lib
Browser
CDN Standalone
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@dashevo/dashcore-lib"></script>

<script>
const PrivateKey = dashcore.PrivateKey;
const privateKey = new PrivateKey();
const address = privateKey.toAddress().toString();
</script>

Some functionality is implemented as a module that can be installed separately:
- Payment Protocol Support
- Peer to Peer Networking
- Dash Core JSON-RPC
- Mnemonics
- Elliptical Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme
- Signed Messages
