Lantern.Discv5, written in C#, is a library that provides an implementation of the Node Discovery V5 protocol.

This implementation provides relevant functionalities to allow peer-to-peer communication and facilitate node discovery in applications built on the .NET platform.

Features

The provided implementation has the following features available:

Enables discovery of nodes that support the ENR (Ethereum Node Record) format
Encrypted communication between peers using Secp256k1 and Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol
Provides functionality to enumerate the entire DHT in the network, leveraging lookup features for targeted nodes via independent path buckets
Support for implementing custom handling of application-level request and response using TALKREQ and TALKRESP messages

Installation

Note: These instructions assume you are familiar with the .NET Core development environment. If not, please refer to the official documentation to get started.

Install .NET Core SDK on your system if you haven't already.

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Pier-Two/Lantern.Discv5.git

Change to the Lantern.Discv5 directory:
```
cd Lantern.Discv5
```
Build the project:
```
dotnet build
```
Execute tests:
```
dotnet test
```

Quick Usage

This library can be used in any C# project using the following import statement:

using Lantern.Discv5.WireProtocol;

You can initialize the protocol by providing an array of bootstrap ENR (Ethereum Node Record) strings:

Discv5Protocol discv5 = Discv5Builder.CreateDefault(bootstrapEnrs);

Please refer to the Usage guide for more information and examples of the bootstrap ENRs as well as a comprehensive understanding of the available functionalities and configuration options.
