The library implements components necessary for [client-side-validation] in bitcoin protocol, specifically - deterministic bitcoin commitments API (LNPBP-14, 6 standards) - bitcoin-based single-use-seal API (LNPBP-10 and LNPBP-39 standards)
Client-side-validation is a paradigm for distributed computing, based on top of proof-of-publication/commitment medium layer, which may be a bitcoin blockchain or other type of distributed consensus system.
The development of the library is supported by LNP/BP Standards Association.
To use libraries, you just need latest version of libraries, published to
crates.io into [dependencies] section of your project
Cargo.toml. Here is the full list of available libraries from this repository:
toml
bp-dbc = "0.5" # Deterministic bitcoin commitments crate
bp-seals = "0.5" # Bitcoin single-use-seals crate
bp-core = "0.5" # Library including both of the previous crates
bp-core crate is an "umbrella" library containing both deterministic bitcoin
commitments and bitcoin seals crates inside.
The current list of the projects based on the library include: * RGB: Confidential & scalable smart contracts for Bitcoin & Lightning * Bitcoin-based decentralized identity proposal uses single-use-seals
Contribution guidelines can be found in CONTRIBUTING
This library requires minimum rust compiler version (MSRV) 1.41.1.
Altcoins and "blockchains" other than Bitcoin blockchain/Bitcoin protocols are not supported and not planned to be supported; pull requests targeting them will be declined.
