Overview

This repository contains one solution which contains four main projects.

  1. DotNetLightning.Core to perform LN specific logic and low level primitives.
  2. DotNetLightning.Infrastructure to support data persistency, altcoins, channel/peer management etc.
  3. DotNetLightning.Server to run as a server.
  4. DotNetLightning.Client to interact with the server.

How to configure

Configuration will follow an usual semantics for ASP.NET Core web app. That is, it will read in following order.

  • Read appsettings.json

Supported platforms

The project DotNetLightning.Core is published to nuget as two different styles.

  • By default, the solution is built with dependencies on Secp256k1.Net and NSec (which have native dependencies that need to be built for every platform, and we right now only provide Linux/MacOS binaries). This version is published as DotNetLightning.Core on Nuget.
  • For a more portable version (but possibly less performant) you can compile with BouncyCastle support, passing /p:BouncyCastle=True to your build. This version is published as DotNetLightning on Nuget.

Developer notes

Alt text

Purple background indicates that the package is included in this repository. Important point here is that we should have the least external dependencies as possible to reduce number of possible attack vectors. (especially for DotNetLightning.Core)
