MyCitadel Node

Node operating MyCitadel wallet (can be embedded, self- or cloud-hosted) providing synchronization between bitcoin blockchain, lightning node (LNP Node) and RGB assets stash state (RGB Node). It supports

  • Arbitrary-complex descriptor-based wallets
  • Miniscript-based wallet spending policies
  • Complex multisignature schemes
  • Lightning network (in generalized format, with planned support for multi-peer channels, DEX etc)
  • RGB assets
  • Universal invoices, supporting on-chain descriptor- and PSBT-based invoices, Lightning network, RGB assets, repeated payments, multiple beneficiaries etc...
  • Taproot & Schnorr signatures (WIP)
  • Partially signed bitcoin transactions
  • Arbitrary complex derivation paths, including new identity-based derivations for multisigs and taproot (see https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2021-February/018381.html)
  • Complete separation of private keys to external HSMs or multiple signature servers etc (via PSBTs)

MyCitadel Node demonstrates how modern censorship-resistant self-sovereign privacy-focusing P2P software can be developed basing on LNP/BP Association standards, frameworks and libraries for LNP/BP & Internet2 protocols.

This repository can run (in embedded mode) or connect to external RGB Node and LNP Node, plus it require external Electrum Server accessed via ElectrumX protocol (in future will be replaced by BP Node).

MyCitadel Node is based on:

MyCitadel node can be either run as a daemon or as an embedded library. It can be accessed using command-line tools, shipped as a part of this repository:

  • mycitadel-cli, for connecting to a standalone mycitadeld daemon run in background/in the cloud
  • mycitadel, which contains embedded node and does not require any daemon

or from platform-specific GUI applications, which support both embedded and external node operation mode:

  • Native iOS, iPadOS, macOS created with SwiftUI
  • Native Android (planned)
  • Cross-platform desktop (Linux, macOS, Windows) – GTK+-based (planned)

MyCitadel node ships with C library (libmycitadel) providing FFI which can be used from other languages (it is currently used by native mobile MyCitadel wallets, but also can be interfaced from NodeJS, React Native, Python, Go and other runtimes and languages). It also includes native Swift class library (MyCitadelKit) which simplifies interaction with the node for Apple mobile & desktop applications (similar Java class library is planned for Android & JRE).
