Appendix F: Communications Resilience Mechanisms

P2P transport set:

  • v2 Encrypted P2P (BIP-324) as default for all full nodes and relays; expose QUIC/TLS fallbacks.
  • Onion/I2P modes first-class in clients; auto-failover if clearnet handshakes exhibit DPI resets.
  • Handshake camouflage (Noise/obfs-style) for relays in high-interdiction ASNs.

Receiver-private routing for payments:

  • BOLT12 Offers (receiver-private, reusable invoices) in wallets and merchant stacks.
  • Path-blinding where supported.
  • Federated ecash and shielded pools as optional “last-mile” sinks/sources.

Settlement survivability:

  • Adaptor-signature atomic swaps for BTC↔XMR/ZEC corridors with typed failure & refund flows.
  • Wallet UX exposes “abort & refund” as a first-class path.

Topology & anti-eclipse hardening:

  • Peer-set diversity targets (geo/ASN spread), randomized peer rotation, inbound slot quotas.
  • Gossip-path multiplicity to reduce single-jurisdiction capture.
  • Light-client modes that verify receipts over any reachable path (browser, mobile, enclave).
