Contributing

We welcome contributions to BlockSci. Below we’ve listed a few ways you can help improve BlockSci:

• Maintenance: We greatly appreciate help in maintaining BlockSci, including raising issues with reproducible examples, reviewing pull requests, helping answer questions about using BlockSci, or fixing smaller bugs.

• Documentation: We welcome contributions that improve our documentation and FAQ or add helpful comments to the code.

• Testing: We welcome contributions that extend or improve our existing Python and C++ test suites. We also welcome improvements of the testchain-generator that we use to generate a synthetic blockchain to run tests against.

• Code contributions: If you’re interested in making larger code contributions (e.g., adding new features, extensive rewrites of existing code), please contact us first.
