A lightweight and embeddableBitcoin client, built for sovereignty.
Full validation without the overhead.
Why Floresta?
Running your own fully validating Bitcoin node is essential for verifying your own transactions, preserving the network’s decentralization, and maintaining financial sovereignty.
Traditional node implementations often require hundreds of gigabytes of disk space and constant uptime, which can be a barrier for many users.
Floresta makes this accessible by providing a lightweight and embeddable Bitcoin client, built on techniques such as Utreexo and pruning. This design allows users and applications to run a fully validating node on modest hardware, without compromising on trust or security.
