Extract stateless functions into wallet library module

[rishflab]

Sorry for tagging everyone as reviewer but It kind of does concern everyone.

NOTE: probably easier to checkout the branch and look at it in your IDE

The goal of this commit/branch is to extract wallet
functionality into a module so it can moved into the baru repo The
motivation for this refactor is so the platform team can upgrade the
protocols to use PSET's. This should also take some workload away
from from product team.

The stuff that will be moved into the baru repo is in the baru-wallet crate

Overall a good starting point. Try to push for more value-based APIs where possible instead of depending on traits.

Additionally, I think it should actually be the responsibility of baru to provide "backends" like esplora. So maybe the Wallet trait can be trimmed down to a Blockchain backend (similar to bdk) and then we define functionality composed on top of this trait?

Also, I think baru should offer an actual Wallet struct that the extension can re-use that holds state like the keys, and UTXOs. When given a Backend, the wallet can then sync the UTXOs and perform IO-less stuff like signing a loan transaction etc.

This is coming together nicely.

Take the following with a grain of salt because maybe it is not fully-possible but I was thinking we could do something like:

1. Have Wallet store a list of unspent transaction outputs. Whatever data structure we store, it should be everything we need to know about our UTXOs. In the future, we can abstract this into some kind of backend rather then a just an in-memory list.
2. Have a Wallet::sync function that looks roughly like this:

implWallet{asyncfnsync(&mutself,backend:&implBackend){let utxos = backend.fetch_utxos(self.address());// for utxo in utxos, fetch transaction and compute txout ...// self.txouts = }}

3. All APIs like extract_loan can now be synchronous functions on Wallet because Wallet owns most of the data necessary to do the task (txouts, blinding key etc)

Some notes about this design:

• It should allow the Backend trait to be minimal and only concern itself with IO.
• barucan provide an implementation of Backend for esplora but given that specific need of caching using the browser's cache etc, I would probably not bother and leave that within the extension for now.
• Passing the Backend as a parameter to sync allows Wallet to remain simple and without type parameters and allows for easier testing using dummy backends.
• Having Wallet own state like TxOuts makes all the functions like extract_loan quite easy to use.

On top of all this, the extension should probably define its own Wallet struct that wraps the one provided by baru and carry around the state for usdt_asset_id, chain, etc.

---

I recognize this may seem contradicting to my previous review. However, for this design to be possible, it was important to first split things into pure functions (value-based). Now that this is the case, we can easily re-compose everything that is there by bundling the necessary state for these functions up in the Wallet struct.

good idea. another benefit is the caller won't have to pass around the touts in their app

[thomaseizinger]

Looking good, I think we are almost there!

To summarize:

• Add a coin-selection API to Wallet
• Add a signing API to Wallet

That should allow you to remove the utxos() accessor on Wallet and greatly reduce the duplication between the exposed wallet functions.

The diff here is quite big :/

What is your appetite for making it smaller?
I think there might be a reasonably easy way of doing that.

1. Make a new branch from master.
2. First commit: Bump to baru version 0.3.
3. Second commit: Introduce EsploraClient as a struct that owns the base_url
4. Third commit: Add a git dependency on baru that uses the new wallet and deletes all the old stuff.

Given that the overall structure of the #[wasm_bindgen] functions etc didn't change much, (4) should be relatively straight forward and should result in a much smaller diff :)

[thomaseizinger]

Nice work! This diff is actually reviewable now :)

[thomaseizinger]

This should go to the very top to the other exports.

You probably want to rebase your stuff onto #233 and drop the commit where you upgrade to baru 0.3.

I think the only commit that can be dropped is 95fade9 (the one that upgrades bobtimus)

The wallet upgrade should please stay - I don't touch that in my PR, but kept the deprecated API.
