A C++ library for creating Monero applications using native bindings to monero v0.18.2.2 'Flourine Fermie'.
- Supports fully client-side wallets by wrapping wallet2.h.
- Supports multisig, view-only, and offline wallets.
- Uses a clearly defined data model and API specification intended to be intuitive and robust.
- Query wallet transactions, transfers, and outputs by their properties.
- Receive notifications when wallets sync, send, or receive.
- Tested by over 100 tests in monero-java and monero-javascript using JNI and WebAssembly bindings.

- API and model overview with visual diagrams
- monero-javascript documentation provides additional documentation which translates to monero-cpp
This project may be compiled as part of another application or built as a shared or static library.
For example, monero-java compiles this project to a shared library to support Java JNI bindings, while monero-javascript compiles this project to WebAssembly binaries.
- If building this library standalone instead of as a submodule in another project, clone the project repository and update its submodules:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-cpp.git
cd ./monero-cpp && ./bin/update_submodules.sh
