Cryptocurrency and asset support¶
Introduction¶
cryptoassets.core supports different cryptocurrencies. We use SQLAlchemy to generate a set of database tables and model classes for each coin. Then this coin can be send and received using a backend which takes care of communicating with the underlying cryptocurrency network.

- bitcoind
- block.io
