stop_gap
7c1861aab9a76f2ba4a2ae372a16c9669a33f5de fix: define and document `stop_gap` (Jose Storopoli) Pull request description: ### Description - changes the code implementation to "the maximum number of consecutive unused addresses" in esplora async and blocking extensions. - for all purposes treats `stop_gap = 0` as `stop_gap = 1`. - renames `past_gap_limit` to `gap_limit_reached` to indicate we want to break once the gap limit is reached and not go further in `full_scan`, as suggested in https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/issues/1227#issuecomment-1859040463 - change the tests according to the new implementation. - add notes on what `stop_gap` means and links to convergent definition in other Bitcoin-related software. Closes #1227. ### Notes to the reviewers We can iterate over the wording and presentation of the `stop_gap` definition and details. ### Changelog notice - BREAKING: change `stop_gap` definition and effects in `full_scan` to reflect the common definitions in most Bitcoin-related software. ### Checklists #### All Submissions: * [x] I've signed all my commits * [x] I followed the [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) * [x] I ran `cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy` before committing #### New Features: * [x] I've added tests for the new feature * [x] I've added docs for the new feature #### Bugfixes: * [x] This pull request breaks the existing API * [x] I've added tests to reproduce the issue which are now passing * [x] I'm linking the issue being fixed by this PR ACKs for top commit: notmandatory: ACK 7c1861aab9a76f2ba4a2ae372a16c9669a33f5de Tree-SHA512: d9bc5f8ebace47fa33f023ceddb3df5629ad3e7fa130a407311a0303ac59810e6527254efb9075f9e87bf37bec8655c4726eb9cb99f6b038fbeb742f79e995c0
The Bitcoin Dev Kit
BDK

A modern, lightweight, descriptor-based wallet library written in Rust!
Project Homepage | Documentation
About
The bdk
libraries aims to provide well engineered and reviewed components for Bitcoin based applications.
It is built upon the excellent rust-bitcoin
and rust-miniscript
crates.
⚠ The Bitcoin Dev Kit developers are in the process of releasing a
v1.0
which is a fundamental re-write of how the library works. See for some background on this project: https://bitcoindevkit.org/blog/road-to-bdk-1/ (ignore the timeline 😁) For a release timeline see theBDK 1.0 project page
.
Architecture
The project is split up into several crates in the /crates
directory:
bdk
: Contains the central high levelWallet
type that is built from the low-level mechanisms provided by the other componentschain
: Tools for storing and indexing chain datafile_store
: A (experimental) persistence backend for storing chain data in a single file.esplora
: Extends theesplora-client
crate with methods to fetch chain data from an esplora HTTP server in the form thatbdk_chain
andWallet
can consume.electrum
: Extends theelectrum-client
crate with methods to fetch chain data from an electrum server in the form thatbdk_chain
andWallet
can consume.
Fully working examples of how to use these components are in /example-crates
:
example_cli
: Library used by theexample_*
crates. Provides utilities for syncing, showing the balance, generating addresses and creating transactions without using the bdkWallet
.example_electrum
: A command line Bitcoin wallet application built on top ofexample_cli
and theelectrum
crate. It shows the power of the bdk tools (chain
+file_store
+electrum
), without depending on the mainbdk
library.example_esplora
: A command line Bitcoin wallet application built on top ofexample_cli
and theesplora
crate. It shows the power of the bdk tools (chain
+file_store
+esplora
), without depending on the mainbdk
library.example_bitcoind_rpc_polling
: A command line Bitcoin wallet application built on top ofexample_cli
and thebitcoind_rpc
crate. It shows the power of the bdk tools (chain
+file_store
+bitcoind_rpc
), without depending on the mainbdk
library.wallet_esplora_blocking
: Uses theWallet
to sync and spend using the Esplora blocking interface.wallet_esplora_async
: Uses theWallet
to sync and spend using the Esplora asynchronous interface.wallet_electrum
: Uses theWallet
to sync and spend using Electrum.
Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)
This library should compile with any combination of features with Rust 1.63.0.
To build with the MSRV you will need to pin dependencies as follows:
# zip 0.6.3 has MSRV 1.64.0
cargo update -p zip --precise "0.6.2"
# time 0.3.21 has MSRV 1.65.0
cargo update -p time --precise "0.3.20"
# jobserver 0.1.27 has MSRV 1.66.0
cargo update -p jobserver --precise "0.1.26"
# home 0.5.9 has MSRV 1.70.0
cargo update -p home --precise "0.5.5"
