# libbolt
|
||||
Rust implementation of BOLT
|
||||
|
||||
# dependencies
|
||||
A pure-Rust library implementation of BOLT: Blind Off-chain Lightweight Transactions.
|
||||
|
||||
BOLT is a system for conducting privacy-preserving off-chain payments between pairs of individual parties. BOLT is designed to provide a Layer 2 payment protocol for privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies such as Zcash, by allowing individuals to establish and use payment channels for instantaneous payments that do not require an on-chain transaction.
|
||||
|
||||
# WARNING
|
||||
|
||||
The libbolt library relies on experimental libraries and dependencies at the moment. It should not be deployed in production software yet and has not undergone a security review.
|
||||
|
||||
# Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
* secp256k1
|
||||
* libsodium
|
||||
* bn
|
||||
* bulletproofs
|
||||
|
||||
# Compile and Install
|
||||
|
||||
To compile the library, run `make`
|
||||
|
||||
# Tests
|
||||
|
||||
To run libbolt tests, run `cargo test` or `make test`
|
||||
|
||||
# Benchmarks
|
||||
|
||||
To run libbolt benchmarks, run `cargo bench` or `make bench`
|
||||
|
||||
# Usage
|
||||
|
||||
To use the libbolt library, add the `libbolt` crate to your dependency file in `Cargo.toml` as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[dependencies]
|
||||
libbolt = "0.1.0"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then add an extern declaration at the root of your crate as follows:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
extern crate libbolt;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# API
|
||||
|
||||
The libbolt library provides APIs for three types of privacy-preserving payment channels:
|
||||
|
||||
* unidirectional payment channels (not done)
|
||||
* bidirectional payment channels (done)
|
||||
* third-party payments (not done)
|
||||
|
||||
# Crypto Design
