Crate ant_protocol 

ant-protocol

Wire protocol for the Autonomi decentralized network (WithAutonomi fork).

This crate is the contract between ant-client and ant-node: wire message types, serialization, content addressing, and the pure-verification halves of the post-quantum signing scheme. Both crates depend on ant-protocol and on nothing else from each other.

Scope

• chunk — chunk request/response messages, protocol constants, ProtocolError, close-group sizing, proof-type tag bytes.
• data_types — pure helpers on 32-byte addresses (compute_address, xor_distance, peer_id_to_xor_name) and DataChunk.
• chunk_protocol — a shared “subscribe → send → poll” helper chunk_protocol::send_and_await_chunk_response that both the client and node test harness use to exchange chunk messages on a saorsa-core::P2PNode.
• payment — on-wire payment artifacts: PaymentProof, SingleNodePayment (with pay and verify co-located), and ML-DSA-65 verification of quotes and merkle candidates.

What is not here

• Quote generation and node-side signing keys (stay in ant-node).
• On-chain verification cache and payment verifier state machine (stay in ant-node).
• LocalDevnet and node process management (stay in ant-client and ant-node respectively).

Logging

The logging feature re-exports tracing macros. When disabled the macros become no-ops with zero runtime cost.
