}

The Watch trait defines behavior for watching on-chain activity pertaining to channels as blocks are connected and disconnected.

Each channel is associated with a ChannelMonitor. Implementations of this trait are responsible for maintaining a set of monitors such that they can be updated as channel state changes. On each update, all copies of a ChannelMonitor must be updated and the update persisted to disk to ensure that the latest ChannelMonitor state can be reloaded if the application crashes.

See method documentation and ChannelMonitorUpdateStatus for specific requirements.

Required Methods

fn watch_channel( &self, funding_txo: OutPoint, monitor: ChannelMonitor<ChannelSigner> ) -> Result<ChannelMonitorUpdateStatus, ()>

Watches a channel identified by funding_txo using monitor.

Implementations are responsible for watching the chain for the funding transaction along with any spends of outputs returned by get_outputs_to_watch. In practice, this means calling block_connected and block_disconnected on the monitor.

A return of Err(()) indicates that the channel should immediately be force-closed without broadcasting the funding transaction.

If the given funding_txo has previously been registered via watch_channel, Err(()) must be returned.

fn update_channel( &self, funding_txo: OutPoint, update: &ChannelMonitorUpdate ) -> ChannelMonitorUpdateStatus

Updates a channel identified by funding_txo by applying update to its monitor.

Implementations must call ChannelMonitor::update_monitor with the given update. This may fail (returning an Err(())), in which case this should return ChannelMonitorUpdateStatus::InProgress (and the update should never complete). This generally implies the channel has been closed (either by the funding outpoint being spent on-chain or the ChannelMonitor having decided to do so and broadcasted a transaction), and the ChannelManager state will be updated once it sees the funding spend on-chain.

In general, persistence failures should be retried after returning ChannelMonitorUpdateStatus::InProgress and eventually complete. If a failure truly cannot be retried, the node should shut down immediately after returning ChannelMonitorUpdateStatus::UnrecoverableError, see its documentation for more info.

fn release_pending_monitor_events( &self ) -> Vec<(OutPoint, Vec<MonitorEvent>, Option<PublicKey>)>

Returns any monitor events since the last call. Subsequent calls must only return new events.

Note that after any block- or transaction-connection calls to a ChannelMonitor, no further events may be returned here until the ChannelMonitor has been fully persisted to disk.

For details on asynchronous ChannelMonitor updating and returning MonitorEvent::Completed here, see ChannelMonitorUpdateStatus::InProgress.
