Cashu Development Kit

CDK is a collection of rust crates for Cashu wallets and mints written in Rust.

ALPHA This library is in early development, the api will change and should be used with caution.

Project structure

The project is split up into several crates in the crates/ directory:

• Libraries:
  • cdk: Rust implementation of Cashu protocol.
  • cdk-sqlite: SQLite Storage backend.
  • cdk-redb: Redb Storage backend.
  • cdk-rexie: Rexie Storage backend for browsers.
  • cdk-axum: Axum webserver for mint.
  • cdk-cln: CLN Lightning backend for mint.
  • cdk-lnd: Lnd Lightning backend for mint.
  • cdk-lnbits: LNbits Lightning backend for mint.
  • cdk-fake-wallet: Fake Lightning backend for mint. To be used only for testing, quotes are automatically filled.
  • cdk-mint-rpc: Mint management gRPC server and cli.
• Binaries:
  • cdk-cli: Cashu wallet CLI.
  • cdk-mintd: Cashu Mint Binary.
  • cdk-mint-cli: Cashu Mint management gRPC client cli.

Code Style Guidelines

• Large Enum Variants: When an enum variant contains a large type (>100 bytes), box it using Box<T> to reduce the overall enum size. This improves memory efficiency, especially for error types.

  // Instead of this:
  enum Error {
    SomeLargeError(LargeType),  // LargeType is >100 bytes
  }
    
  // Do this:
  enum Error {
    SomeLargeError(Box<LargeType>),
  }
