Examples

Create Descriptor Wallet:

$name = 'my-wallet';
$password = 'password for encrypt wallet files';
$title = 'My First Wallet';

$node = Bitcoin::createNode('localhost', 'LocalHost', '127.0.0.1');
$wallet = Bitcoin::createWallet($node, $name, $password, $title);

Import Descriptor Wallet using descriptors:

$name = 'my-wallet';
$password = 'password for encrypt wallet files';
$descriptions = json_decode('DESCRIPTORS JSON', true);
$title = 'My First Wallet';

$node = Bitcoin::createNode('localhost', 'LocalHost', '127.0.0.1');
$wallet = Bitcoin::importWallet($node, $name, $descriptions, $password, $title);

Create address:

$wallet = BitcoinWallet::firstOrFail();
$title = 'My address title';

$address = Bitcoin::createAddress($wallet, AddressType::BECH32, $title);

Validate address:

$address = '....';

$node = BitcoinNode::firstOrFail();
$addressType = Bitcoin::validateAddress($node, $address);
if( $addressType === null ) {
    die('Address is not valid!');
} 

var_dump($addressType); // Enum value of AddressType

Send all BTC from wallet:

$wallet = BitcoinWallet::firstOrFail();
$address = 'to_address';

$txid = Bitcoin::sendAll($wallet, $address);

echo 'TXID: '.$txid;

Send BTC from wallet:

$wallet = BitcoinWallet::firstOrFail();
$address = 'to_address';
$amount = 0.001;

$txid = Bitcoin::send($wallet, $address, $amount);

echo 'TXID: '.$txid;

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require sakoora0x/laravel-bitcoin-module

After you can run installer using command:

php artisan bitcoin:install

And run migrations:

php artisan migrate

The package will automatically register its service provider and facade via Laravel's package auto-discovery.

Laravel 11+ Task Scheduling

In Laravel 11+, add the following to your routes/console.php file:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schedule;

Schedule::command('bitcoin:sync')
    ->everyMinute()
    ->runInBackground();

Laravel 10 Task Scheduling

For Laravel 10, add to app/Console/Kernel.php in the schedule() method:

$schedule->command('bitcoin:sync')
    ->everyMinute()
    ->runInBackground();

Commands

Scan transactions and update balances:

> php artisan bitcoin:sync

Scan transactions and update balances for wallet:

> php artisan bitcoin:sync-wallet {wallet_id}

WebHook

You can set up a WebHook that will be called when a new incoming BTC deposit is detected.

In file config/bitcoin.php you can set param:

'webhook_handler' => \sakoora0x\LaravelBitcoinModule\WebhookHandlers\EmptyWebhookHandler::class,

Example WebHook handler:

class EmptyWebhookHandler implements WebhookHandlerInterface
{
    public function handle(BitcoinWallet $wallet, BitcoinAddress $address, BitcoinDeposit $transaction): void
    {
        Log::error('Bitcoin Wallet '.$wallet->name.' new transaction '.$transaction->txid.' for address '.$address->address);
    }
}

Testing

This package includes a comprehensive test suite with 88 tests covering all major components:

# Run all tests
composer test

# Run tests with coverage
composer test-coverage

The test suite includes:

• Unit tests for core functionality (RPC API, address validation, decimal casting)
• Feature tests for models, commands, and integration workflows
• 100% pass rate with 192 assertions

For more details, see TEST_STATUS.md.

Requirements

The following versions are supported by this package:

• PHP 8.2 or newer
• Laravel 11.x or 12.x
• PHP Extensions: BCMath (usually enabled by default)
• PHP Extensions: Decimal (optional, for better performance with decimal calculations)

Configuring RPC Authentication

The rpcauth line in your .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf file contains authentication credentials for connecting to your Bitcoin node. To create a different login, you need to generate a new rpcauth string.

Using the rpcauth.py script (Recommended)

This package includes a Python script to generate these credentials:

1. Generate new credentials (replace newusername with your desired username):

python3 rpcauth.py newusername

This will output something like:

String to be appended to bitcoin.conf:
rpcauth=newusername:salt$hash
Your password:
randomGeneratedPassword123

3. Copy the rpcauth line to your config file and save the password - you'll need it to connect.

Manual generation

If you want to generate it manually, the format is:

rpcauth=username:salt$hmac_sha256(salt, password)
