Crate cdk_payment_processor

CDK Payment Processor

The cdk-payment-processor is a Rust crate that provides both a binary and a library for handling payments to and from a cdk mint.

Overview

Library Components

• Payment Processor Server: Handles interaction with payment processor backend implementations
• Client: Used by mintd to query the server for payment information
• Backend Implementations: Supports CLN, LND, and a fake wallet (for testing)

Features

• Modular backend system supporting multiple Lightning implementations
• Extensible design allowing for custom backend implementations

Building from Source

Prerequisites

1. Install Nix package manager
2. Enter development environment:

nix develop

Configuration

The server requires different environment variables depending on your chosen Lightning Network backend.

Core Settings

# Choose backend: CLN, LND, or FAKEWALLET
export CDK_PAYMENT_PROCESSOR_LN_BACKEND="CLN"

# Server configuration
export CDK_PAYMENT_PROCESSOR_LISTEN_HOST="127.0.0.1"
export CDK_PAYMENT_PROCESSOR_LISTEN_PORT="8090"

Backend-Specific Configuration

Core Lightning (CLN)

# Path to CLN RPC socket
export CDK_PAYMENT_PROCESSOR_CLN_RPC_PATH="/path/to/lightning-rpc"

Lightning Network Daemon (LND)

# LND connection details
export CDK_PAYMENT_PROCESSOR_LND_ADDRESS="localhost:10009"
export CDK_PAYMENT_PROCESSOR_LND_CERT_FILE="/path/to/tls.cert"
export CDK_PAYMENT_PROCESSOR_LND_MACAROON_FILE="/path/to/macaroon"

Building and Running

Build and run the binary with your chosen backend:

# For CLN backend
cargo run --bin cdk-payment-processor --no-default-features --features cln

# For LND backend
cargo run --bin cdk-payment-processor --no-default-features --features lnd

# For fake wallet (testing only)
cargo run --bin cdk-payment-processor --no-default-features --features fake

Development

To implement a new backend:

1. Create a new module implementing the payment processor traits
2. Add appropriate feature flags
3. Update the binary to support the new backend
