Urbit Bitcoin Connector

Connect your Urbit's Bitcoin wallet to your Bitcoin node

Budgeting & Finance ★ 5 stars Easy setup free

Urbit has a native Bitcoin wallet that you can connect to a full node via an intermediary, called a provider. Providers run a piece of backend software called %btc-provider that communicates with a full node with bitcoind and electrs, as well as a custome Node Express proxy to translate RPC calls between TCP and HTTP. This app will install the Express proxy and configure it to point at your Umbrel's Bitcoin full node. Using this, you can configure a Bitcoin provider on a ship (even one running on your Umbrel) and configure it, or other ships to point their wallets at it. This app also provides.
