Utility functions for working with HTLC-based transfers.

Networks

Supported networks:

btc: Bitcoin mainnet
btctestnet: Bitcoin testnet3

Swap Execution

An HTLC swap is carried out in two phases.

In the first phase, the swap partners setup the details of the swap. Once the first phase is set, the funding party funds an HTLC with those details on-chain.

In the second phase either party sweeps the funds using either the successful claim path or the unsuccessful refund path.

Phase 1: Setup

In this phase, the following elements must be synchronized between the swappers:

A claim public key
A refund public key
A timeout block height
A claim hash
A number of tokens

Aside from tokens, these values are the inputs to the swapScript or swapScriptV2 method that produces the witness script.

This script may be converted into an address with addressForScript, and phase 1 completes when the funder spends to this address with the given tokens.

Phase 2: Resolution

In this phase each party must derive an address to sweep the funds out to, and they must determine the UTXO or UTXOs that they will sweep.

The funder knows the UTXO details because they crafted the output, but either party can use findDeposit to find a UTXO given the swap address.

Now either party can attempt to claim the funds out to their address, through either claimTransaction or refundTransaction.

These transactions will also require a fee rate, which can be derived from a backing estimator using getChainFeeRate or it can be derived using blind RBF with confirmationFee

And they will require a chain height, which can be retrieved using getHeight.

Once a transaction is formed, it can be broadcast with broadcastTransaction.
