Bitcoin ABC documentation

Download & install Chronik

Download Chronik for the right platform. The Bitcoin ABC version shown below is read from the monorepo root CMakeLists.txt when you run npm run dev or npm run build (see scripts/sync-abc-version.mjs). Override with NEXT_PUBLIC_BITCOIN_ABC_VERSION if needed.

Heads up: this tutorial is about running bitcoind with Chronik enabled. That needs a capable machine and can take days to sync. For app development you can use the public indexer — see chronik-client.

Showing Bitcoin ABC 0.33.1 (override with NEXT_PUBLIC_BITCOIN_ABC_VERSION).
