Struct Channel 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub struct Channel {
    pub name: String,
    pub description: Option<String>,
}

A named content stream for editorial distribution.

Channels provide authoritative views on top of the default, unfiltered gossip catalog. Publishers announce content into channels once it reaches a given editorial state (e.g. “curated”), and consumers subscribe only to the channels they trust.

Under the hood a channel is a separate gossip topic derived from its name, so channel membership is inherently opt-in and decentralised.

Fields (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive structs could have additional fields added in future. Therefore, non-exhaustive structs cannot be constructed in external crates using the traditional Struct { .. } syntax; cannot be matched against without a wildcard ..; and struct update syntax will not work.

name: String

Human-readable channel name (e.g. "curated", "latest", "publisher-acme").

description: Option<String>

Optional human-readable description.

Implementations

impl Channel

pub fn new( name: impl Into<String>, description: Option<impl Into<String>>, ) -> Self

Create a new channel with an optional description.

pub fn topic_seed(&self) -> String

The gossip topic seed for this channel.

Topic IDs are derived from a BLAKE3 hash of this seed, so every channel is a fully independent gossip swarm.

pub const fn accepts_all(&self) -> bool

Whether content should appear on this channel.

By default every channel accepts all content; publishers apply editorial policy before calling announce.
