Implementing a BDK wallet for lampo

[vincenzopalazzo]

Background

Lampo is a project designed to provide developers with flexibility in configuring dependencies, such as the wallet. Currently, for stability reasons, I prefer using the Bitcoin Core wallet, as it is easy to use. However, the obvious choice here would be to use BDK.

Goal

This project aims to propose a WalletManager implementation using BDK by reworking the initial solution proposed in this repository. Keep in mind that Lampo currently uses Bitcoin Core (or similar tools) to fetch information from the network.

The main steps are:

• Explore the WalletManager.
• Review the BDK wallet implementation.
• Start working on the following branch: macros/wallet-bdk. Consider using a beta version, though this might be challenging due to the LDK and rust-bitcoin versions currently used in Lampo.
• Propose the solution via a PR with a clean git history to ensure proper attention during the review process. Otherwise, your PR may never be reviewed.

Notes

If you’ve made some friends during the class and would like to work as a group, this project is not a toy, so collaborating in teams of 2–3 people is recommended. You can propose not only an implementation of BDK but also a plan to make BDK the default wallet in Lampo.
