Core Lane can be used as a library to build custom sequencers, transaction processors, and state management tools. The library provides the core functionality for processing transactions, managing state, and interacting with Bitcoin.

​
Installation

Add Core Lane to your Cargo.toml: 
[dependencies]
core-lane = { git = "https://github.com/your-org/core-lane" }
# Or if published to crates.io:
# core-lane = "0.1.0"

# Required dependencies for transaction processing
alloy-primitives = "1.4.0"
alloy-consensus = { version = "1.0.38", features = ["secp256k1", "serde"] }
alloy-signer-local = "1.0.38"
anyhow = "1.0"
tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] }

​
Basic Usage

The library exports commonly used types and functions: 
use core_lane::{
    StateManager, BundleStateManager,
    execute_transaction, TxEnvelope,
    create_bitcoin_rpc_client,
    Address, U256, Bytes, B256
};

​
Key Components

Core Lane’s library interface consists of three main components:

​
State Management

  • StateManager: Persistent state storage for accounts, transactions, and intents
  • BundleStateManager: Staging area for batching state changes before committing

​
Transaction Execution

  • execute_transaction(): Process Core Lane transactions with full validation
  • ProcessingContext: Trait for providing execution context (state, Bitcoin client, network)

​
Bitcoin Integration

  • BitcoinRpcClient: Type-safe Bitcoin RPC client using corepc
  • create_bitcoin_rpc_client(): Factory function for creating RPC clients

​
Simple Example

Here’s a minimal example showing state management: 
use core_lane::{StateManager, BundleStateManager, Address, U256};
use anyhow::Result;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    // Create a new state manager
    let state = StateManager::new();
    let mut bundle = BundleStateManager::new();
    
    // Add balance to an account
    let address = Address::from([0x42; 20]);
    let amount = U256::from(1_000_000_000_000_000_000u128); // 1 ETH
    bundle.add_balance(&state, address, amount)?;
    
    // Check balance in bundle (not yet committed)
    assert_eq!(bundle.get_balance(&state, address), amount);
    assert_eq!(state.get_balance(address), U256::ZERO); // Original unchanged
    
    // Commit changes to state
    let mut new_state = state;
    new_state.apply_changes(bundle);
    assert_eq!(new_state.get_balance(address), amount);
    
    Ok(())
}

​
Full Example with Bitcoin

For a complete example showing transaction execution with Bitcoin integration, see the simple_sequencer example: 
# From the core-lane repository
cd workspace/source
cargo run --example simple_sequencer
This example demonstrates:
  • Connecting to a Bitcoin RPC node
  • Creating and managing state
  • Building and signing transactions with Alloy
  • Processing transactions through the execution engine
  • Serializing and deserializing state
See examples/simple_sequencer.rs in the repository for the full implementation.
