Module ant_protocol 

ANT protocol implementation for the saorsa network.

This module implements the wire protocol for storing and retrieving data on the saorsa network, compatible with the autonomi network protocol.

Data Types

The ANT protocol supports a single data type:

• Chunk: Immutable, content-addressed data (hash == address)

Protocol Overview

The protocol uses postcard serialization for compact, fast encoding. Each data type has its own message types for PUT/GET operations.

Chunk Messages

• ChunkPutRequest / ChunkPutResponse - Store chunks
• ChunkGetRequest / ChunkGetResponse - Retrieve chunks
• ChunkQuoteRequest / ChunkQuoteResponse - Request storage quotes

Payment Flow

1. Client requests a quote via ChunkQuoteRequest
2. Node returns signed PaymentQuote in ChunkQuoteResponse
3. Client pays on Arbitrum via PaymentVault.payForQuotes()
4. Client sends ChunkPutRequest with payment_proof
5. Node verifies payment and stores chunk

Example

use saorsa_node::ant_protocol::{ChunkMessage, ChunkPutRequest, ChunkGetRequest};

// Create a PUT request
let address = compute_address(&data);
let request = ChunkPutRequest::with_payment(address, data, payment_proof);
let message = ChunkMessage::PutRequest(request);
let bytes = message.encode()?;

// Decode a response
let response = ChunkMessage::decode(&response_bytes)?;
