⚙️ Core Functionality

• Cryptographic Pair Generation: Instantiate fresh Bitcoin key sets, yielding associated public addresses, public key material, and the private key in Wallet Import Format (WIF).
• Address Schema Verification: Authenticate the structural validity of a provided Bitcoin address.
• Transaction Disassembly: Interpret a raw, serialized Bitcoin transaction structure, presenting its elements in a human-comprehensible structure.
• Blockchain State Polling:
• Tip Block Retrieval: Fetch metadata for the most recently mined block (e.g., block hash, height index, timestamp, transaction count).
• Transaction Data Fetch: Retrieve comprehensive details for any transaction given its unique Transaction ID (TXID).
• Payment Channel Operations (Lightning):
• Invoice Parsing: Deconstruct a BOLT11 Lightning invoice to reveal its readable parameters.
• Initiate Payment: Execute a payment against a Lightning invoice directly utilizing an LNBits backend wallet.
