Pocket Node

Bitcoin node in your pocket in under an hour.

Turn any Android phone into a fully-validating Bitcoin full node. No server dependency, no ongoing tethering. Your phone becomes a sovereign Bitcoin node.

✅ Proven Two proven bootstrap paths: sync from home node (under 1 hour) or download from internet (3-6 hours, on-chain only) Phone-to-phone and relay sharing: scan a QR code, get a full node. Resume on failure. Works over WiFi or LAN 3 Bitcoin implementations: Core 30, Core 29.3, Knots 29.3. One-tap switching, same chainstate. Universal BIP 110 signaling toggle No thermal load: phone shows no sign of load or overheat during normal operation ~13 GB total disk (11 GB chainstate + 2 GB pruned blocks). Optional: +13 GB for block filter index (Neutrino wallets only, not needed for Lightning) Pure Kotlin Electrum server with wallet tracking: balance, transactions, UTXOs all served from your own pruned node Built-in Lightning wallet powered by LDK: send, receive, BOLT12 offers, open/close channels, peer browser, QR codes LNDHub API for external Lightning wallets (BlueWallet) P2P port exposed on localhost:8333 for Neutrino-compatible wallets Proactive prune recovery re-downloads missed blocks on startup when node was offline Full Tor integration with one-tap toggle: routes bitcoind P2P, Lightning peers, and all HTTP calls through embedded Arti SOCKS proxy. Your ISP sees only Tor traffic. No Orbot needed. Channel safety: WAL checkpoint after every state change, Static Channel Backup (SCB) for recovery, circuit breaker for crash loops Power modes: Max (continuous), Low (15 min bursts), Away (60 min bursts) with auto-detect based on WiFi/cellular/battery Channel probe scanner: discover which Lightning nodes accept small channels before committing funds Relay sharing: pull chainstate from any Pocket Node over LAN, resume on failure, session progress tracking Cooperative close fix: configurable fee floor prevents force-closes over minor fee disagreements Detailed balance view: on-chain spendable, fee reserve, lightning, pending close, all accounted for
