Add support for `Testnet4`

We simply add support for `bitcoin::Network::Testnet4`, which was added
with release v0.32.4, which we hence deem the new minimal requirement
for `lightning` and `lightning-invoice`.

As other Lightning implementations seem to simply map `Testnet4` coins
to be `Testnet` (also reusing the `tb` prefix), we here follow their
lead and choose not to introduce a separate `Currecy` variant, even
though that could lead to checks failing if someone validated the
returned `fallback_addresses` for the given `Network`.

This commit adds support for Bitcoin's new Testnet4 network in the rust-lightning library. It mainly bumps a dependency version and maps Testnet4 invoices to use the existing Testnet currency type.

Commit message · Joost Jager

Remove redundant channel ID logging

Previously, log messages often included the channel ID both in the
message text and in the structured `channel_id` field. This led to
redundant information and made it difficult to quickly identify which
log lines pertain to a given channel, as the ID could appear in
different positions or sometimes not at all.

This change removes the channel ID from the message in all cases where
it is already present in the structured field. A test run was used to
verify that the structured field always appeared in these log calls.
Some exceptions remain—for example, calls where the structured field
contains a temporary channel ID and the message contains the final ID
were left unchanged.

AI analysis · Low 34/100

This commit removes an older, now-redundant HMAC/nonce authentication mechanism from LDK's blinded payment paths. The code had already introduced a newer 'ReceiveAuthKey' way to authenticate the same data, so the old (hmac, nonce) fields are being stripped out to simplify the codebase. The change is described by the project as a cleanup, not a security fix, and the diff shows the old verification checks being replaced by reliance on the newer mechanism. There is no direct evidence in the commit of an exploitable vulnerability, but removing a redundant authentication layer is a normal hardening step.

This commit changes how hidden (blinded) Lightning payment paths are created and checked. It adds a new 'receive authentication key' used when encrypting the final hop's details, and it makes the receiving node verify that the final hop was encrypted with that key. This is a defensive hardening change that reduces the data sent in payment paths and makes the verification logic consistent with another similar feature (blinded message paths).

This commit fixes a fee-estimation bug in LDK's experimental splicing code. When the optional `grind_signatures` feature is enabled, signatures are guaranteed to be one byte smaller than the normal maximum. The splice funding-transaction fee estimator was not accounting for that smaller signature, so it could slightly overestimate fees. The patch subtracts one weight unit from the relevant estimates when the feature is on, and updates tests to match. It is a correctness/efficiency fix rather than a critical vulnerability.

Use a tolerance when estimating remote fees

The interactive-tx construction protocol uses an agreed upon fee rate.
Since the bitcoind coin selection algorithm may underpay fees when no
change output is needed, providing a tolerance when checking if the
remote's fee contribution could avoid some unexpected failures. This
commit introduces a 95% tolerance similar to Eclair.

AI analysis · Low 33/100

This change relaxes a fee-checking rule during Bitcoin Lightning channel transactions. When two parties jointly build a transaction, the code now accepts a remote party's fee contribution that is up to 5% lower than the agreed rate, matching how another major implementation (Eclair) behaves. This avoids false failures caused by real-world coin-selection quirks, but it also means the local node may accept slightly less fee than strictly required.

Fix MAX_STANDARD_TX_WEIGHT check

The interactive-tx construction protocol needs to make sure the
constructed transaction does not exceed MAX_STANDARD_TX_WEIGHT. A naive
estimate of the transaction weight after signing was used, but was not
accurate. Specifically, it double-counted EMPTY_SCRIPT_SIG_WEIGHT and

AI analysis · Moderate 59/100

This commit fixes how rust-lightning estimates the final size of a Bitcoin transaction during the interactive-tx protocol used to build funding transactions for Lightning channels. The old estimate double-counted a fixed empty-signature weight and forgot to add the SegWit marker/flag bytes, so it could wrongly allow a transaction that is actually too large to be accepted by the Bitcoin network. Such a transaction would not propagate through standard Bitcoin nodes, potentially causing a channel-funding attempt to fail or get stuck.

This commit is a small internal cleanup in the project's test code. It replaces a few uses of a test helper macro with a direct call to an equivalent helper function. There is no change to the actual Lightning node logic that runs in production, and nothing in the commit suggests a security fix or vulnerability.

This commit is a test-only refactoring change. It replaces uses of a test helper macro (`commitment_signed_dance!`) with direct calls to an equivalent test helper function (`do_commitment_signed_dance`) in many test files. There is no change to production code, no change to behavior, and no security fix or vulnerability introduced.

Use `honggfuzz`'s `--run-time` arg to limit per-fuzz runtime in CI

We have some complexity in `ci-fuzz.sh` to limit each fuzzer to a
rough runtime, but `honggfuzz` has a `--run-time` argument that we
can simply use instead, which we do here.

This commit is a cleanup of the project's continuous integration fuzz-testing script. It replaces a custom, per-target method of limiting how long each fuzz test runs with a built-in honggfuzz command-line option (`--run_time 30`). There is no change to the actual Lightning protocol code, cryptography, networking, or any code that end users run. It only affects how long automated fuzzing jobs run in CI.

Security candidateUse 72 WU instead of 73 WU for signature weightby Jeffrey Czyz · eb341de7 · Nov 10, 2025 · 4 filesMessage 73 · AdequateLow 36Details

Use 72 WU instead of 73 WU for signature weight

When estimating signature weight, 73 WU was used in some places while 72
WU was used in others. Consistently use 72 WU and replace hardcoded
values with constants. 73 WU signatures are non-standard and won't be
produced by LDK. Additionally, using 73 WU along with grind_signatures
adjustment is nonsensical.

This commit fixes an internal inconsistency in how LDK estimates Bitcoin transaction fees. Some parts of the code assumed signatures could be 73 weight units (WU) long, while others used 72 WU. Since 73 WU signatures are non-standard and LDK never produces them, the 73 WU assumption caused fee estimates to be slightly too high. The patch standardizes on 72 WU and replaces magic numbers with named constants. The practical effect is slightly lower, more accurate fee estimates for Lightning channel funding and splicing transactions. It is not a direct vulnerability fix, but incorrect fee estimation could in edge cases cause transactions to be over-funded or, more importantly, could contribute to fee-related negotiation failures.

Drop required `Box`ing of `lightning` trait `Future`s

Now that our MSRV is 1.75, we can return `impl Trait` from trait
methods. Here we use this to clean up `lightning` crate trait
methods, dropping the `Pin<Box<dyn ...>>`/`AsyncResult` we had to
use to have trait methods return a concrete type.

This commit is a routine code cleanup in the Lightning Dev Kit Rust library. It takes advantage of a newer Rust language feature (available since Rust 1.75) to remove unnecessary 'Box' heap allocations around futures returned from certain trait methods. There is no indication this change fixes a security bug or introduces a vulnerability; it is a refactoring to simplify the code and reduce allocations.

Trivially replace `Box::pin` with `pin!` in a few places

Now that our MSRV is above 1.68 we can use the `pin!` macro to
avoid having to `Box` various futures, avoiding some allocations,
especially in `lightning-net-tokio`, which happens in a tight loop.

This commit is a routine code cleanup that swaps one Rust standard-library mechanism for pinning futures (`Box::pin`) with a newer, allocation-free equivalent (`pin!`). It removes heap allocations in a few internal loops and sync wrappers, but does not change program logic, trust boundaries, or behavior. There is no security relevance.
