TCP 18444
Synopsis
- Bitcoin Core (bitcoind/bitcoin-qt) uses TCP port 18444 as the default P2P port in regtest mode (local testing network).
- btcd (the Go implementation of Bitcoin) also defaults to TCP 18444 for regtest P2P connections.
- Bitcoin Cash Node (BCHN) and Bitcoin SV (BSV) retain the Bitcoin regtest default and listen on TCP 18444 in regtest mode.
- Many Bitcoin-derived nodes/frameworks that inherit Bitcoin’s networking defaults use TCP 18444 for regtest P2P connectivity.
- Example: running bitcoind with -regtest listens on 127.0.0.1:18444 for peer connections.
