Peer Protocol for Channel Management

To exemplify the protocols as we define them, we will assume there exists a multisignature wallet shared between two parties, Alice and Bob. This is the only required re-usable on-chain component (with the exception of supporting libraries) to execute each of the protocols below.

Primitive Types

Type	Description	Sample
address	Ethereum address	0x3bfc20f0b9afcace800d73d2191166ff16540258
xpub	HD wallet extended public key	xpub6GhhMtkVjoPi5DKtqapKzMzrzdGjo1EPc7Ka6KdeoXYdCrTBH1Hu1wKysm8boWSy8VeTKVJi6gQJ2qJ4YG2ZhvFDcUUgMJrFCJWN1PGtBry
uint8	8 bit unsigned integer
uint256	256 bit unsigned integer
bytes32	32 bytes

Global Variables

Variable Name	Type	Description
REGISTRY	address	The deployed on-chain address of the Registry singleton contract
NONCE_REGISTRY	address	The deployed on-chain address of the NonceRegistry singleton contract

JSON

This type specifies a modification of JSON that disallows the following primitive types: true, false, null. Note that when represented in javascript, large numbers which fint into uint256 must be represented as either BigNumbers or as serialized BigNumbers (e.g., { _hex: '0x01'}).

Type: Terms

Field	Type	Description
assetType	uint8	A value in the enum of {ETH, ERC20, Other}
limit	uint256	The exact total budget that an application can spend
token	address	If assetType is ERC20 then the address of the token

Type: CfAppInterface

Field	Type	Description
address	address	The on-chain address of the AppDefinition contract implementing the application logic
token	address	If assetType is ERC20 then the address of the token
abiEncoding	bytes4	The ABIEncoderV2 representation of the application's state encoding (e.g., "tuple(address,uint8)")
