The brontide package implements a secure crypto messaging protocol based off of
the [Noise Protocol Framework](http://noiseprotocol.org/noise.html). The
package exposes the raw state machine that handles the handshake and subsequent
message encryption/decryption scheme. Additionally, the package exposes a
[net.Conn](https://golang.org/pkg/net/#Conn) and a
[net.Listener](https://golang.org/pkg/net/#Listener) interface implementation
which allows the encrypted transport to be seamlessly integrated into a
codebase.
The secure messaging scheme implemented within this package is described in
detail in [BOLT #8 of the Lightning Network specifications](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc/blob/master/08-transport.md).
This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone
package for any projects needing secure encrypted+authenticated communications
between network enabled programs.

[![GoDoc](https://img.shields.io/badge/godoc-reference-blue.svg)]
(http://godoc.org/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/chainntnfs)
The chainntnfs package implements as set of interfaces which allow callers to
receive notifications in response to specific on-chain events. The set of
notifications available include:
* Notifications for each new block connected to the current best chain.
* Notifications once a `txid` has reached a specified number of
confirmations.
* Notifications once a target outpoint (`txid:index`) has been spent.
These notifications are used within `lnd` in order to properly handle the
workflows for: channel funding, cooperative channel closures, forced channel
closures, channel contract breaches, sweeping time-locked outputs, and finally
pruning the channel graph.
This package is intentionally general enough to be applicable outside the
specific use cases within `lnd` outline above. The current sole concrete
implementation of the `ChainNotifier` interface depends on `btcd`.

The channeldb implements the persistent storage engine for `lnd` and
generically a data storage layer for the required state within the Lightning
Network. The backing storage engine is
[boltdb](https://github.com/boltdb/bolt), an embedded pure-go key-value stored
based off of LMDB.
The package implements an object-oriented storage model with queries and
mutations flowing through a particular object instance rather than the database
itself. The storage implemented by the objects includes: open channels, past
commitment revocation states, the channel graph which includes authenticated
node and channel announcements, outgoing payments, and invoices

(http://godoc.org/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/lnrpc)
This lnrpc package implements both a client and server for `lnd`s RPC system
which is based off of the high-performance cross-platform
[gRPC](http://www.grpc.io/) RPC framework. By default, only the Go
client+server libraries are compiled within the package. In order to compile
the client side libraries for other supported languages, the `protoc` tool will
need to be used to generate the compiled protos for a specific language.
The following languages are supported as clients to `lnrpc`: C++, Go, Node.js,
Java, Ruby, Android Java, PHP, Python, C#, Objective-C.
The list of defined RPC's on the main service are the following (with a brief
description):
* WalletBalance
* Returns the wallet's current confirmed balance in BTC.
* ChannelBalance
* Returns the daemons' available aggregate channel balance in BTC.
* GetTransactions
* Returns a list of on-chain transactions that pay to or are spends from
`lnd`.
* SendCoins
* Sends an amount of satoshis to a specific addresses.
* SubscribeTransactions
* Returns a stream which sends async notifications each time a transaction
is created or one is received that pays to us.
* SendMany
* Allows the caller to create a transaction with an arbitrary fan-out
(many outputs).
* NewAddress
* Returns a new addresses, the following address types are supported:
pay-to-public-key-hash (p2pkh), pay-to-witness-key-hash (p2wkh), and
nested-pay-to-witness-key-hash (np2wkh).
* ConnectPeer
* Connects to a peer identified by a public key and host.
* ListPeers
* Lists all available connected peers.
* GetInfo
* Returns basic data concerning the daemon.
* PendingChannels
* List the number of pending (not fully confirmed) channels.
* ListChannels
* List all active channels the daemon manages.
* OpenChannel
* Attempts to open a channel to a target peer with a specific amount and
push amount.
* SendPayment
* Send a payment over Lightning to a target peer.
* AddInvoice
* Adds an invoice to the daemon. Invoices are automatically settled once
seen as an incoming HTLC.
* ListInvoices
* Lists all stored invoices.
* LookupInvoice
* Attempts to look up an invoice by payment hash (r-hash).
* SubscribeInvoices
* Creates a uni-directional stream which receives async notifications as
the daemon settles invoices
* ListPayments
* List all outgoing Lightning payments the daemon has made.
* DescribeGraph
* Returns a description of the known channel graph from the PoV of the
node.
* GetChanInfo
* Returns information for a specific channel identified by channel ID.
* GetNodeInfo
* Returns information for a particular node identified by its identity
public key.

The lnwallet package implements an abstracted wallet controller that is able to
drive channel funding workflows, a number of script utilities, witness
generation functions for the various Lightning scripts, revocation key
derivation, and the commitment update state machine.
The package is used within `lnd` as the core wallet of the daemon. The wallet
itself is composed of several distinct interface that decouple the
implementation of things like signing and blockchain access. This separation
allows new `WalletController` implementations to be be easily dropped into
`lnd` without disrupting the code base. A series of integration tests at the
interface level are also in place to ensure conformance of the implementation
with the interface.

# Funding (segwit+CSV)
lnwire
======
This is two-party funder for a single Funding Transaction (more efficient and
makes the channel creation atomic, but doesn't work for
CSV-no-malleability-fix).
[![Build Status](http://img.shields.io/travis/lightningnetwork/lnd.svg)]
(https://travis-ci.org/lightningnetwork/lnd)
[![MIT licensed](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg)]
[![GoDoc](https://img.shields.io/badge/godoc-reference-blue.svg)]
(http://godoc.org/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/lnwire)
### Funding Request
The lnwire package implements the Lightning Network wire protocol.
Someone wants to open a channel. The requester provides any inputs and relevant
information on how much they want to fund and the parameters, these paramters
are a proposal.
This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone
package for any projects needing to interface with lighting peers at the wire
protocol level.
### Funding Response
## Installation and Updating
If the responder accepts the request, they also provide any inputs, and returns
with parameters as well. These parameters are now considered "Committed" and the
negotation has finished. If the requester doesn't agree with the new conditions,
they stop. The response also contains the first Commitment pubkey provided by the
responder, which refunds the initial balance back to both parties.
### Funding SignAccept
The requester now has sufficient information to get a refund if the transaction
is ever broadcast. The requester signs the Funding Transaction and this message
gives the signature to the responder. The requester also provides the signature
for the initial Commitment Transaction.
### Funding SignComplete
The responder has sufficient information to broadcast the Funding Transaction
(with the ability to receive a refund), the responder broadcasts on the
blockchain and returns the txid to the requester, with the signature of the
Funding Transaction. This is provided as a courtesy, it cannot be relied upon
with non-cooperative channel counterparties and the Funding Transaction can be
braodcast without this message being received by the requester. After the
necessary number of confirmations, Lightning Network transactions can proceed.
# Cooperative Channel Close
This is when either party want to close out a channel with the current balance.
Requires the cooperation of both parites for this type. In the event of
non-cooperation, either party may broadcast the most recent Commitment
Transaction.
### Close Request
One party unilaterally sends their sig and fee amount to the other party. No
further channel updates are possible. In the future, we might include HTLCs in
the outputs, but for now, we're assuming *all* HTLCs are cleared out.
### Close Complete
Returns the Txid and sig as a courtesy. The counterparty might not send this if
they're being non-cooperative.
# Commitments and HTLCs
This is designed to be non-blocking where there can be multiple Commitments per
person and the Commitments do not need to match. A HTLC is only believed to be
added when it's in both parties' most recent Commitment (same with
timeout/settle) and all prior Commitments not reflecting the change are revoked
by the counterparty.
As a result, there can easily be hundreds of state updates/payments per second
per channel.
### Commitment States
Commitments:
1. HTLCs, can be modified. Any add/settlement/timeout/etc. gets added to
staging.
2. Signed, more than one signed state at a time may exist per party. Takes
HTLCs staging and locks it in, can now be broadcast on-chain by the
counterparty.
3. Completed and Revoked, other party sends their revocation accepting this
Commitment. Sending a revocation means you *ACCEPT* the Commitment. There
should never be a case where a Commitment Signature happens and the client
refusees to revoke -- instead the client should immediately close out the
channel.
4. Deprecated, a commitment is old, marked as deprecated when there is a new
Commitment and this one is revoked. These commitments never be broadcasted.
5. Invalid, close out channel immediately.
There can be multiple commitments going at a time per party (currently limits a
total of 16 possible in-flight that can be broadcast for sanity, but there's no
real limit).
For validity, all you do is ensure that the changes from the old commitment are
legit (based on your HTLC/staging data)
COMMIT\_STAGING
COMMIT\_SIGNED
COMMIT\_COMPLETE
Messages:
CommitSignature: Signature to establish COMMIT\_SIGNED state
CommitRevocation: Revoke prior states
### ADD HTLCs
Requester Add HTLC states (Adding HTLCs):
1. Pre-staged, don't know if the other person wants it
2. Staged, both parties agree to add this HTLC. If a staging request packet is
received, then BOTH PARTIES will have it in their next Commitment. Nothing
is guaranteed here, but violations are treated as immediate channel closure.
3. Signed and sent the Commitment Tx to the counterparty, one should now assume
that there's a possibility that this HTLC will be boradcast on-chain.
4. Completed and Revoked, *counterparty* has included this in the Commitment
they're broadcasting and revoked their prior state. This means the
*Requeseter* can continue to take action, since the Commitment they have,
the HTLC doesn't exist (no payment), and the *Responder* will broadcast with
the payment to the *Responder*. However, the *Responder* cannot treat the
HTLC as cleared.
5. Cleared. Both parties have signed and revoked. Responder can continue
routing. Make sure it's included in *BOTH COMMITMENTS and ALL PREVIOUS
REVOKED*
6. Staging Reject, removal request, tx rejected, begin flow to reject HTLC from
other channels, can only be sent during the *pre-staging* state
In the event that an HTLC stays in "Completed and Revoked" and it is timed out,
and the counterparty refuses to add it into a new Commitment, the channel is
*closed out on-chain*. In other words, when checking which ones to send a
settle/timeout notification, do it for anything which is
ADD\_SIGNING\_AND\_REVOKING, *or* ADD\_COMPLETE (AND ALL OTHER PRE-COMPLETE
STAGES, e.g. in timeout or settlement).
As part of moving to any further stage, check if it's timed out.
If there is a request to stage and it's already staged, treat it as accepting.
When it has cleared and timed out, a timeout notification is sent.
HTLC ID numbers are uint64 and each counterparty is responsible to only make
sequential/incremental, and each party can only make evens/odds (odd channel
creation responder, evens channel creation initiator)
State is for *YOUR* signatures (what kind of action you need to do in the future)
ADD\_PRESTAGE
ADD\_STAGED
ADD\_SIGNING\_AND\_REVOKING
ADD\_COMPLETE
ADD\_REJECTED
Messages:
HTLCAddRequest: Request to add to staging
HTLCAddAccept: Add to staging (both parties have added when recv)
HTLCAddReject: Deny add to staging (both parties don't have in staging)
### HTLC Settle (payment success)
Requester Settle HTLC states (Fulfill HTLCs):
1. Pre-staged, don't know if the other person will agree to settle
2. Staged, both parties agree to settle this HTLC
3. Signed and sent Commitment Tx to the counterparty, there is now the
possibility that the HTLC does not exist on-chain (of course, the Commitment
includes the payment so there's no real loss of funds). In the event that it
does not complete past this step, then one *must* close out on-chain as if
it was never staged/signed in the first place and the counterparty went
offline.
4. Both parties have signed and revoked, the settlement is complete (there is
no intermediate step of Revoked because this is only reliable and actionable
if BOTH PARTIES have updated their settlement state).
This has one less state because when adding, you're encumbering yourself. With
removing, both parties are potentially encumbered, so they cannot take action
until it's fully settled.
State is for *your* signatures
SETTLE\_PRESTAGE
SETTLE\_STAGED
SETTLE\_SIGNING\_AND\_REVOKING
SETTLE\_COMPLETE
Message:
HTLCSettleRequest: Request to add to staging the removal from Commitment.
HTLCSettleAccept: Add to staging the removal from Commitment.
(There is no HTLCSettleReject as the counterparty should immediately close out
or at worst ignore if it's getting garbage requests)
### Timeout (falure/refund)
Requester Timeout HTLC States:
1. Pre-staged
2. Staged, both parties agree to time out the HTLC and refund the money
3. Signe dnad sent commitment to the counterparty, there is now the possibility
that the transaction will no longer exist on-chain (of course, they can be
redeemed either way). In the even that it does not complete past this step,
then one *must* close out on-chain as if it was never staged/signed in the
first place adn the counterparty was offline.
4. Both parties have signed and revoked, the settlement is complete (there is no
intermediate step of Revoked because there is only reliable and actionable if
BOTH PARTIES have updated their settlement state).
Similar to HTLC Settlement, there is one less state.
State is for *your* signatures
TIMEOUT\_PRESTAGE
TIMEOUT\_STAGED
TIMEOUT\_SIGNING\_AND\_REVOKING
TIMEOUT\_COMPLETE
### Example (this section to be removed)
A bit redundant, but this was written first... will merge with "Add" example
Adding a single HTLC process:
1. Requester flags as pre-staged, and sends an "add requeset"
2. Responder decides whether to add. If they don't, they invalidate it. If they
do, they send a message accepting the staging request. It is now marked as
staged on both sides and is ready to be accepted into a Commitment.
3. When a party wants to update with a new Commitment, they send a new signed
Commitment, this includes data that the HTLC is part of it. Let's say it's
the Requester that sends this new Commitment. As a result, the HTLC is
marked *BY THE RESPONDER* as Signed. It's only when the Responder includes a
transaction including the new HTLC in a new Commitment that the Requester
marks it as Signed.
4. Upon the Responder receiving the new Commitment, they send the revocation
for the old Commitment, and commit to broadcasting only the new one.
5. The *Requester* marks the HTLC as complete, but the *Responder* waits until
they receive a Commitment (and the old one is revoked) before marking it as
complete on the Responder's end.
6. When both parties have the new Commitments and the old ones are revoked,
then the HTLC is marked as complete
The two Commitment Transactions may not be completely in sync, but that's OK!
What's added in both (and removed in both) are regarded as valid and locked-in.
If it's only added to one, then it's regarded as in-transit and can go either
way.
The behavior is to sign after all additions/removals/cancellations, but there
may be multiple in the staging buffer.
Each party has their own revocation height (*for the other party to use*), and
they may be different.

The zpay32 package implements a basic scheme for the encoding of payment
requests between two `lnd` nodes within the Lightning Network. The zpay32
encoding scheme uses the
[zbase32](https://philzimmermann.com/docs/human-oriented-base-32-encoding.txt)
scheme along with a checksum to encode a serialized payment request.
The payment request serialized by the package consist of: the destination's
public key, the payment hash to use for the payment, and the value of payment
to send.
