Nitro Protocol Examples

Nitro RPC

Those application leverage the NitroRPC Asynchronous protocol

NitroRPC Request

In this example, the client is calling a method named "subtract" with positional parameters:

{
"req": [1001, "subtract", [42, 23], 1741344819012],
"sig": "0xa0ad67f51cc73aee5b874ace9bc2e2053488bde06de257541e05fc58fd8c4f149cca44f1c702fcbdbde0aa09bcd24456f465e5c3002c011a3bc0f317df7777d2"
}

• req: rpc message payload [request_id, method, params, ts]
• sig: payload client signature

The millisecond timestamp was returned previously from the server, it is used as a height for proof of history

NitroRPC Response Example

For a successful invocation, the server might respond like this:

{
"res": [1001, "subtract", [19], 1741344819814],
"sig": "0xd73268362b04516451ec52170f5c8ca189d35d9ac5e9041c156c9f0faf9aebd2891309e3b2b5d8788578ab3449c96f7aa81aefb25482b53f02bac42c65f806e5"
}

• res: rpc message payload [request_id, method, params, ts]
• sig: payload server response signature

ts: server response with latest timestamp

NitroCalc

Objectives of the prototype is to define opening, checkpoint, dispute and finalize of channel.

State storage example

-- Table to store RPC messagesCREATETABLErpc_states (
id SERIALPRIMARY KEY,
ts BIGINT,
req_id INTEGERNOT NULL,
method VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
params JSONB NOT NULL,
client_sig VARCHAR(128),
server_sig VARCHAR(128),
UNIQUE (request_id)
);

TODO:

• Create AppData in solidity
• Create NitroApp to validate states including AppData
• Create Protobuf description of NitroRPC Request / Response
• Include NitroRPC types into gRPC and generate client and server
• Implement methods: add(int), sub(int), mul(int), mod(int) starting from 0
• Create a simplified NitroCalc Service using sqlite for state (in go)
• Finally, we can import nitro pkg, and client or server can pack and sqlite state and call nitro of on-chain channel operations.

Markdown Table Example

ID	Timestamp (ts)	Method	Request Arguments	Response Arguments
1002	1741344820000	open_channel	[100]	[chanId]
1003	1741344821000	add	[50]	[50]
1004	1741344822000	mul	[2]	[100]
1005	1741344823000	sub	[10]	[90]
1006	1741344820000	close_channel	[nitro_state]	[mutually_signed_state]

And create a unhappy case

NitroBet

An idea of an app with external event, could be Alice and Bob start both with $100 they continuous add money to their bet and a outcome of the bet would determine the winner
