AetherNet.Tipping

Optional incentive / tipping layer for AetherNet — the offline-first mesh protocol. Relay and gateway nodes can be rewarded for forwarding traffic; this package carries the generic, currency-agnostic surface for that.

It provides:

  • the TipPacket (packet type 24) wire payload + send/receive path (IMeshTipService lives in AetherNet.Core),
  • the settlement seam — a host plugs its wallet in by implementing IAetherNetIncentiveProvider.SettleMeshTipAsync; the default is a no-op (a node accepts and relays tip packets but settles nothing),
  • in-tree services that queue and batch-sync incentive/reward events.

The amount is just a number. No currency is baked into the wire — settlement currency is entirely the host's concern. A wallet-backed deployment supplies its own SettleMeshTipAsync and its own backend; the protocol only carries the signal.

Install

dotnet add package AetherNet.Tipping

Quick start

using AetherNet.DependencyInjection;

services.AddAetherNet(b => b
    .AddSignalProtocol()
    .AddRouting()
    .AddMeshTip()      // generic tip wire surface (TipPacket 24)
    .AddTipping());    // queue + batch-sync + settlement seam

// Reward a relay. `amount` is the host's own unit — nothing currency-specific on the wire:
await meshTip.SendTipAsync(recipientUhid, amount: 0.10m, trafficType: "message-relay");

The TipPacket wire format and signing are byte-identical across every AetherNet implementation (C#, Go, Python, TypeScript, Kotlin, Swift, Rust, C, ArkTS), verified against shared cross-language fixtures.
