[[User:Cdecker]] is available on Mattermost for mentoring of c-lightning projects. Feel free to propose your own ideas, and we'll help you design and implement them :-)
+
During the hackathon we are planning to:
  
Some ideas for projects / challenges:
+
* Refactor LNP node with the latest developments from LNP/BP Standards Association:
 +
* Use the new LNP networking protocol stack from rust-lnpbp library for note IPCs, RPCs and P2P
 +
* Use LNP API tools and API code derive macros for doing API all requests
 +
* Finalize P2P networking layer
  
* Hardware wallet integration: c-lightning has supported external funding via the `fundchannel_start` and `fundchannel_complete` RPC methods for quite some time, in addition the `close_to` parameter allows you to specify where funds should be sent once the channel closes. These can be combined to have all on-chain funds sourced from a hardware wallet and, after they were borrowed to operate a channel, they can be returned to the hardware wallet. The idea here is to write a plugin that interacts with the hardware wallet to fund channels, so funds are only temporarily controlled by c-lightning.

* `hsm_secret` generation from a seed-phrase: c-lightning will securely generate a random seed when first starting a new node. Given the lack of functional backup, and the seed not being sufficient to restore all the state, c-lightning has so not included any seed-phrase to restore the seed. However due to recent improvements both in backups and replicated DB backends, it would be great to also safely store the `hsm_secret` using existing tooling, such as paper backups, encrypted BIP39 seed-phrases, or even steel backups. Goal of this challenge is the creation of a launcher or plugin that takes a seed-phrase and generates the associated `hsm_secret` file.

* Trampoline Proof-of-concept: Trampoline routing is a recent proposal to outsource some aspects of route-finding to another node in the neighborhood of the sending node. This is useful for nodes that may be unable to sync the network topology through gossip, or do not have time to sync before they need to send out a payment, e.g., mobile nodes. Using c-lightning's ability to implement custom protocol extensions (`custommsg`) and the ability to create routing onions with arbitrary payloads, you can implement a fast gossiping extension with which nodes announce their ability to route on behalf of others, and the sender to encapsulate the instructions for a trampoline node (where to go and how much to send).
+
===OmniBOLT -- Facilitate smart assets lightning transactions===
  
* Networked RPC interface: c-lightning is purposefully not exposing its JSON-RPC over the network, in order not to mandate a specific method of interaction. Plugins can take care of exposing the API in a variety of ways (grpc, JSON-RPC, REST, ...) and they can also be used to enforce arbitrary access policies using the `rpc_command` hook. These two aspects can be handled independently, i.e., one plugin exposes the API over some transport while another plugin enforces the authentication and authorization required to access the API. This in turn allows to mix and match arbitrary networked API endpoints and authentication mechanisms. Goal of this challenge is to come up with a generic way to have one plugin expose the API, and pass along any authentication information that was submitted with the request, so another plugin can enforce access policies.
+
OmniBOLT is a lightning network specification, enabling faster and lower cost transactions of smart crypto assets, providing more flexible contracts for upper layer decentralized finance applications OBD implements the OmniBOLT specification.
  
* Backup plugin: https://github.com/lightningd/plugins/tree/master/backup Currently it supports only backup to the local file. There are several rooms for improvement, contact [[User:mrostecki]] if interested.

Resources:
** "partial file" backend - saving each database change/transaction to a separate file, which will be helpful for ideas below
 
** PGP backend - based on the "partial file" plugin, which encrypts each file
 
** Dropbox, Google Drive backends - uploading backups to Dropbox and Google Drive, based on "partial file" backend (to not upload a huge file every time), with optional usage of PGP

=== JIT Routing / Sharing balance information ===
+
Looking for yet another idea to build a small LApp? Check out [[Ideas for LApps]]!
  
Recent - unpublished / work in progress - research that i am conducting suggests that JIT routing is indeed superior to our current path finding mechanism of probing channels until a path is found as JIT Routing
+
==Adding your Project==
  
* has on average a higher success rate
+
Feel free to add a challenge yourself! Ask Jeff or Rootzoll on the [https://mm.fulmo.org Mattermost] for the password to edit the Wiki-Page. If you have a GitHub Repo best practice is to put the label "hackathon" (yellow) next to issues you like people to join/help for the weekend. If you added a challenge please also get in touch on [https://mm.fulmo.org/fulmo/channels/lightning-hacksprint Mattermost] for more information and collaboration.
* invokes on average less network communication messages to be sent
 
* on average leaks less information of channel balances of the network to the sender / participating nodes
 
* seems to prevent channel probing attacks (c.f: https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.00333 )
 
 
 
Previous research (c.f.: https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.09555) suggests that even without JIT rebalancing if the channel rebalancing is used proactively and opportunistically by nodes the overall payment success rates and routable amounts increase.
 
 
 
Thus on the Lightning Hacksprint we want to start working on a proof of concept implementation of JIT - routing. This effort has two parts:
 
 
 
# a communication protocol for nodes to share balance information with neighbors
 
# a modified transport layer for fee free rebalancing.
 
 
 
This weekend we will focus mainly on the communication protocol for sharing balance information with peers as an extension of BOLT7 as this would be needed in the JIT case and the proactive rebalancing case.  
 
If time permits we shall also look at the second goal to achieve fee free rebalancing.
 
 
 
We will write a spec for new gossip messages and provide a proof of concept as a c-lightning plugin.
 
If time pemits we also invoke the rebalancing with fees during forwarding of HTLCs - which later can be exchanged with the fee free version.

Help wanted on Github issues with label "hacksprint"

Chatroom to get started: https://mm.fulmo.org/fulmo/channels/x-weenode

Outcomes:

  • fulmo: found our lost twitter account @weenode1 ! made the case for opening a new issue on including device requirements.

Rust Lightning Network node

Another LN node? Why we need it?

The problem with the existing Lightning node implementations is their very limited extensibility for such things as:

  • future LN upgrades (channel factories, pay-to-ec-point, taproot),
  • protocols on top of LN (layer 3), like DLCs on LN [1] or proposed Lightspeed payments [2], which require modification on the structure of the commitment transaction.

We will try to build a node that is highly modular and is ready for the future LN extensions. More information here: https://github.com/LNP-BP/lnpd

We will continue the Rust LN node development based on LNP/BP library; for more details you can refer our project backlog and todo issues here: https://github.com/LNP-BP/lnp-node/projects/1

During the hackathon we are planning to:

  • Refactor LNP node with the latest developments from LNP/BP Standards Association:
  • Use the new LNP networking protocol stack from rust-lnpbp library for note IPCs, RPCs and P2P
  • Use LNP API tools and API code derive macros for doing API all requests
  • Finalize P2P networking layer

Contact Users:

  • Dr-Orlovsky [3]
  • Olga Ukolova [4]
