Project
bitcoin-spv for CKB
bitcoin-spv is a set of libraries for working with Bitcoin from other chains. It enables cross-chain communication like swaps, relays, and bridges. Currently, it is available in Solidity, Go, Rust, Python, and ES6+. We’d like to add a C-implementation targeted at CKB.
Team
Summa aims to make cross-chain development simple and ubiquitous. We maintain a suite of open-source libraries that support dozens of chains, and work on interoperability projects with Bitcoin, Etherereum, Cosmos, Near, and Celo.
You can find us on Github, Medium, and Twitter.
Specification
-
A minimal C library targeting RISC-V that can:
- Parse and validate Bitcoin headers
- Parse, validate, and measure work of Bitcoin header chains
- Validate Merkle inclusion proofs for transactions
- Validate pre-parsed Bitcoin transactions
- Extract information from transaction inputs and outputs
-
Extensive unit-tests to ensure API-compatibility with other versions
-
An example CKB lock-script implementing a Stateless Swap with Bitcoin
- Allows anyone to sell CKB for BTC in a trust-minimized way
- Uses Stateless SPVs to verify Bitcoin payment
- Parses Nervos payment information from the Bitcoin transaction
- Does not include wallet software or UI capable of making trades
-
A blog post guide to unit testing C using
libcheck
, and testing CKB Scripts in Rust using the CKB core libraries.
Timeline
We have a significant amount of work done, and expect to have a complete version with tests and documentation by the end of February.
