Trait lightning::chain::chaininterface::BroadcasterInterface

pub trait BroadcasterInterface {
    // Required method
    fn broadcast_transactions(&self, txs: &[&Transaction]);
}

An interface to send a transaction to the Bitcoin network.

Required Methods

fn broadcast_transactions(&self, txs: &[&Transaction])

Sends a list of transactions out to (hopefully) be mined. This only needs to handle the actual broadcasting of transactions, LDK will automatically rebroadcast transactions that haven’t made it into a block.

In some cases LDK may attempt to broadcast a transaction which double-spends another and this isn’t a bug and can be safely ignored.

If more than one transaction is given, these transactions should be considered to be a package and broadcast together. Some of the transactions may or may not depend on each other, be sure to manage both cases correctly.

Bitcoin transaction packages are defined in BIP 331 and here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/policy/packages.md
