## Overview
`rosetta-bitcoin` provides a reference implementation of the Rosetta API for
Bitcoin in Golang. If you haven't heard of the Rosetta API, you can find more
information [here](https://rosetta-api.org).
## Features
* Rosetta API implementation (both Data API and Construction API)
* UTXO cache for all accounts (accessible using `/account/balance`)
* Stateless, offline, curve-based transaction construction from any SegWit-Bech32 Address
## Usage
As specified in the [Rosetta API Principles](https://www.rosetta-api.org/docs/automated_deployment.html),
all Rosetta implementations must be deployable via Docker and support running via either an
[`online` or `offline` mode](https://www.rosetta-api.org/docs/node_deployment.html#multiple-modes).
To build a Docker image from this repository, run the command `make build`. To start
`rosetta-bitcoin`, you can run:
* `make run-mainnet-online`
* `make run-mainnet-offline`
* `make run-testnet-online`
* `make run testnet-offline`
By default, running these commands will create a data directory at `<working directory>/bitcoin-data`
and start the `rosetta-bitcoin` server at port `8080`.
## System Requirements
`rosetta-bitcoin` has been tested on an [AWS c5.2xlarge instance](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/c5).
This instance type has 8 vCPU and 16 GB of RAM. If you use a computer with less than 16 GB of RAM,
it is possible that `rosetta-bitcoin` will exit with an OOM error.
### Recommended OS Settings
To increase the load `rosetta-bitcoin` can handle, it is recommended to tune your OS
settings to allow for more connections. On a linux-based OS, you can run the following
commands ([source](http://www.tweaked.io/guide/kernel)):
```text
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse=1
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog=10000
sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=10000
sysctl -p (when done)
```
You should also modify your open file settings to `100000`. This can be done on a linux-based OS
with the command: `ulimit -n 100000`.
### Optimizations
* Automatically prune bitcoind while indexing blocks
* Reduce sync time with concurrent block indexing
* Use [Zstandard compression](https://github.com/facebook/zstd) to reduce the size of data stored on disk
without needing to write a manual byte-level encoding
#### Concurrent Block Syncing
To speed up indexing, `rosetta-bitcoin` uses concurrent block processing
with a "wait free" design (using channels instead of sleeps to signal
which threads are unblocked). This allows `rosetta-bitcoin` to fetch
multiple inputs from disk while it waits for inputs that appeared
in recently processed blocks to save to disk.
```text

| bitcoind |

| block 1 <------------------------------------+
+---------+ |
+--> tx 1 | |

+------------------------------------> tx 6 |
| +---------+
|
|

+---------------+
```
### Architecture
`rosetta-bitcoin` uses the `syncer`, `storage`, `parser`, and `server` package
from [`rosetta-sdk-go`](https://github.com/coinbase/rosetta-sdk-go) instead
of a new Bitcoin-specific implementation of packages of similar functionality. Below
you can find a high-level overview of how everything fits together:

## Testing with rosetta-cli
To validate `rosetta-bitcoin`, [install `rosetta-cli`](https://github.com/coinbase/rosetta-cli#install)
and run one of the following commands:
* `rosetta-cli check:data --configuration-file rosetta-cli-conf/bitcoin_testnet.json`
* `rosetta-cli check:construction --configuration-file rosetta-cli-conf/bitcoin_testnet.json`
* `rosetta-cli check:data --configuration-file rosetta-cli-conf/bitcoin_mainnet.json`
* `rosetta-cli check:construction --configuration-file rosetta-cli-conf/bitcoin_mainnet.json`
## Future Work
* Publish benchamrks for sync speed, storage usage, and load testing
* Rosetta API `/mempool/*` implementation
* Add CI test using `rosetta-cli` to run on each PR (likely on a regtest network)
* Add performance mode to use unlimited RAM (implementation currently optimized to use <= 16 GB of RAM)
* Support Multi-Sig Sends
_Please reach out on our [community](https://community.rosetta-api.org) if you want to tackle anything on this list!_
## Development
* `make deps` to install dependencies
* `make test` to run tests
* `make lint` to lint the source code
* `make salus` to check for security concerns
* `make build-local` to build a Docker image from the local context
* `make coverage-local` to generate a coverage report
