psbt

PSBTs

PSBTs are a format for communicating and collaboratively working with transactions.

The format is defined in BIP-0174: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0174.mediawiki

Methods

An ECPair object is required for some methods:

const tinysecp = require('tiny-secp256k1');

const ECPair = await import('ecpair')

const ecp = ECPair.ECPairFactory(tinysecp);

combinePsbts

Combine multiple PSBTs

{
  ecp: <ECPair Object>
  psbts: [<BIP 174 Encoded PSBT Hex String>]
}

@throws
<Combine PSBT Error>

@returns
{
  psbt: <BIP 174 Encoded PSBT Hex String>
}

createPsbt

{
  outputs: [{
    script: <Output ScriptPub Hex String>
    tokens: <Sending Tokens Number>
  }]
  utxos: [{
    id: <Transaction Id Hex String>
    [sequence]: <Sequence Number>
    vout: <Output Index Number>
  }]
  [timelock]: <Set Lock Time on Transaction To Number>

encodePsbt

Encode a Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction

{
  pairs: [{
    [separator]: <Is Separator Bool>
    [type]: <Type Buffer Object>
    [value]: <Value Buffer Object>
  }]
}

@throws
<Failed To Encode Error>

@returns
{
  psbt: <Hex Encoded Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction String>
}

extractTransaction

Extract a transaction from a finalized PSBT

{
  ecp: <ECPair Object>
  psbt: <BIP 174 Encoded PSBT Hex String>
}

@throws
<Extract Transaction Error>

@returns
{
  transaction: <Hex Serialized Transaction String>
}

finalizePsbt

Finalize the inputs of a PSBT

{
  ecp: <ECPair Object>
  psbt: <BIP 174 Encoded PSBT Hex String>
}

@throws
<Finalize PSBT Error>

@returns
{
  psbt: <BIP 174 Encoded PSBT Hex String>
}

signPsbt

Update a PSBT with signatures

{
  ecp: <ECPair Object>
  network: <Network Name String>
  psbt: <BIP 174 Encoded PSBT Hex String>

  transaction: <Hex Encoded Transaction String>
}

@throws
<Error>

    vin: <Input Index Number>
    vout: <Output Index Number>
  }]
  [bip32_derivations]: [{
