Struct lightning::util::config::ChannelHandshakeConfig

pub struct ChannelHandshakeConfig {
    pub minimum_depth: u32,
    pub our_to_self_delay: u16,
    pub our_htlc_minimum_msat: u64,
    pub negotiate_scid_privacy: bool,
}

Configuration we set when applicable.

Default::default() provides sane defaults.

Fields

minimum_depth: u32

Confirmations we will wait for before considering the channel locked in. Applied only for inbound channels (see ChannelHandshakeLimits::max_minimum_depth for the equivalent limit applied to outbound channels).

Default value: 6.

our_to_self_delay: u16

Set to the number of blocks we require our counterparty to wait to claim their money (ie the number of blocks we have to punish our counterparty if they broadcast a revoked transaction).

This is one of the main parameters of our security model. We (or one of our watchtowers) MUST be online to check for revoked transactions on-chain at least once every our_to_self_delay blocks (minus some margin to allow us enough time to broadcast and confirm a transaction, possibly with time in between to RBF the spending transaction).

Meanwhile, asking for a too high delay, we bother peer to freeze funds for nothing in case of an honest unilateral channel close, which implicitly decrease the economic value of our channel.

Default value: BREAKDOWN_TIMEOUT, we enforce it as a minimum at channel opening so you can tweak config to ask for more security, not less.

our_htlc_minimum_msat: u64

Set to the smallest value HTLC we will accept to process.

This value is sent to our counterparty on channel-open and we close the channel any time our counterparty misbehaves by sending us an HTLC with a value smaller than this.

Default value: 1. If the value is less than 1, it is ignored and set to 1, as is required by the protocol.

negotiate_scid_privacy: bool

If set, we attempt to negotiate the scid_privacy (referred to as scid_alias in the BOLTs) option for outbound private channels. This provides better privacy by not including our real on-chain channel UTXO in each invoice and requiring that our counterparty only relay HTLCs to us using the channel’s SCID alias.

If this option is set, channels may be created that will not be readable by LDK versions prior to 0.0.106, causing ChannelManager’s read method to return a DecodeError:InvalidValue.

Note that setting this to true does not prevent us from opening channels with counterparties that do not support the scid_alias option; we will simply fall back to a private channel without that option.

Ignored if the channel is negotiated to be announced, see ChannelConfig::announced_channel and ChannelHandshakeLimits::force_announced_channel_preference for more.

Default value: false. This value is likely to change to true in the future.
