BlockCypher

What is BlockCypher?

BlockCypher is a cloud-based platform that enables businesses to build blockchain applications using a variety of APIs and callbacks. Its APIs allow users to interact with multiple blockchain networks, retrieve data from blocks, receive notifications about unconfirmed transactions, and request multi-signature transactions. Individuals can use the BlockCypher API to create and decode transactions, as well as deploy smart contracts. The platform enables businesses to retrieve data on specific addresses and generate unique payment one-time addresses that automatically forward funds. It provides webhooks for notifications on various blockchain events, such as transactions, blocks, and double-spends. The metadata API allows users to store both public and private key-value pairs against blocks, addresses, and transactions. The wallet API enables the creation and management of multi-address and hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallets. The Transaction API provides functionality for generating, sending, and embedding data into blockchain transactions, and includes a confidence factor to estimate the likelihood of double-spend for unconfirmed transactions
