Our integration with mempool.space delivers unparalleled fee calculation, speed, and reliability to over 750,000 Bitcoin wallets, ensuring that our users have the best possible Bitcoin wallet experience. As the Bitcoin ecosystem grows and new technologies emerge, the demand for wallets that meet the evolving needs of today’s Bitcoin users has never been greater.

But this integration isn’t just a win for users—it’s also a significant improvement for developers looking to use Leather. Developers building dApps on Bitcoin require a wallet that is efficient and reliable, allowing them to test, troubleshoot, and ultimately launch their applications with confidence. 

Our collaboration with mempool.space not only elevates the user experience of our wallet; it also adds to the developer experience, making it an essential tool for Bitcoin builders.

Mempool.space and Leather: Improving the Bitcoin Wallet Experience for Developers

Mempool.space provides a detailed, real-time view of the current state of the Bitcoin network. This information is invaluable for users and developers looking to optimize their transaction timing and performance.

As a result, Leather is tapping into a number of mempool.space API endpoints that allow us to leverage the efficiency and reliability of the network to improve our wallet experience.

GET /api/address/utxo: More Efficient UTXO Management 

This endpoint allows for the query of all Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXOs) in all Leather wallets. By having this data, Leather can determine the most cost-effective way to send BTC, optimizing transactions and saving on fees. Additionally, we leverage this UTXO information to showcase inscriptions and other Bitcoin assets through our integrated API providers, giving developers a more comprehensive view of wallet contents.

GET /api/address/txs: Faster Transaction Tracking

This endpoint significantly speeds up and optimizes how we display transaction activity. With a single query, devs and users alike can view both pending mempool transactions and confirmed transactions, streamlining their Activity feed in Leather. 

GET /api/v1/fees/recommended: Improved Accuracy for Fee Recommendations

Bitcoin transaction fees can fluctuate unexpectedly, often at the most inconvenient times. Our integration with mempool.space’s reliable fee calculation provides accurate Low, Medium, and High fee recommendations, ensuring that your transactions can be quickly confirmed regardless of urgency. Builders and users can confidently manage transaction fees, balancing cost and speed according to their needs.

Building the Most Efficient Bitcoin Wallet Experience

At Leather, we’re dedicated to providing the best and most efficient Bitcoin wallet experience for managing your digital assets. Our integration with mempool.space enhances speed, transparency, and confidence in every BTC transaction and how our wallet works on a foundational level.
