BDK-LDK

The bdk-ldk library hopes to bridge the gaps needed to implement a ldk-based lightning client using a bdk::Wallet.

• Implements lightning::chain::chaininterface::FeeEstimator so LDK can estimate fees when constructing transactions.
• Implements lightning::chain::chaininterface::BroadcasterInterface so LDK can broadcast transactions to the network.
• Implements lightning::chain::Filter so we know what transactions and scripts to watch for during sync.
• Provides chain data to LDK using the lightning::chain::Confirm interface.

Note(s)

This repo currently uses my fork of bdk until IndexedChain trait (or similar) gets merged upstream. This will work with any bdk::Blockchain that implements IndexedChain. My fork currently implements IndexedChain for bdk::ElectrumBlockchain and bdk::EsploraBlockchain.

Hopefully the functionality can be extended to the rest of the bdk Blockchains. It will likely mean implementing a sync using ldk's Listen interface where you must provide full blocks instead of transaction information.

This cannot be published to crates.io with the git dependency, use this from source or as a reference for now.

Example Node

There will be a full bdk-ldk example node that uses this library published in a separate repository soon.

Usage

use std::sync::Arc;
use bdk::{Wallet, database::MemoryDatabase, blockchain::EsploraBlockchain};
use lightning::chain::Confirm;
use bdk_ldk::LightningWallet;


fn main() {
    let bdk_wallet = Wallet::new(
        "wpkh([c258d2e4/84h/1h/0h]tpubDDYkZojQFQjht8Tm4jsS3iuEmKjTiEGjG6KnuFNKKJb5A6ZUCUZKdvLdSDWofKi4ToRCwb9poe1XdqfUnP4jaJjCB2Zwv11ZLgSbnZSNecE/0/*)",
        Some("wpkh([c258d2e4/84h/1h/0h]tpubDDYkZojQFQjht8Tm4jsS3iuEmKjTiEGjG6KnuFNKKJb5A6ZUCUZKdvLdSDWofKi4ToRCwb9poe1XdqfUnP4jaJjCB2Zwv11ZLgSbnZSNecE/1/*)"),
        bitcoin::Network::Testnet,
        MemoryDatabase::default(),
        EsploraBlockchain::new("https://blockstream.info/testnet/api", 20)
    );

    let ldk_wallet = Arc::new(LightningWallet::new(bdk_wallet));
    let fee_estimator = ldk_wallet.clone();
    let filter = ldk_wallet.clone();
    let broadcaster = ldk_wallet.clone();

    ...

    let mut channel_manager = ...;
    let mut chain_monitor = ...;

    let confirmables = vec![
		&*channel_manager as &dyn Confirm, 
		&*chain_monitor as &dyn Confirm
	];

    ldk_wallet.sync(confirmables);
}
