Cross-Swap Node

A peer-to-peer node implementation for the Cross-Swap network using libp2p. This node forms part of the decentralized network that enables cross-chain swaps.

Features

• P2P networking using libp2p
• Kademlia DHT for peer discovery
• Automatic peer discovery and connection
• NAT traversal with relay support
• IPv4 and IPv6 support

Requirements

• Go 1.22 or later

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/CrossSwap/cross-swap-node.git
cd cross-swap-node

2. Install dependencies:

go mod tidy

Running a Node

To start a node:

go run main.go

The node will:

1. Generate a unique peer ID
2. Listen on port 63785 (TCP)
3. Connect to bootstrap nodes
4. Start discovering other Cross-Swap nodes
5. Automatically connect to discovered peers

Network Information

• Default Port: 63785 (TCP)
• Network ID: "cross-swap-network"
• Discovery: Kademlia DHT with bootstrap nodes

Development

The node is built using:

• go-libp2p for P2P networking
• go-libp2p-kad-dht for peer discovery
• go-multiaddr for network addressing
