Module bdk_chain::bitcoin::network

Expand description

Bitcoin network.

The term “network” is overloaded, here Network refers to the specific Bitcoin network we are operating on e.g., signet, regtest. The terms “network” and “chain” are often used interchangeably for this concept.

§Example: encoding a network’s magic bytes

use bitcoin::Network;
use bitcoin::consensus::encode::serialize;

let network = Network::Bitcoin;
let bytes = serialize(&network.magic());

assert_eq!(&bytes[..], &[0xF9, 0xBE, 0xB4, 0xD9]);
