This commit adds end-to-end integration tests for BIP 431 (TRUC) policy enforcement using the rpctest harness. The tests verify all six TRUC rules plus security properties using real btcd nodes and transaction submission. The test infrastructure enhancements to rpctest include v3 transaction creation helpers (CreateV3Transaction, CreateV3Child) that properly handle transaction version selection through functional options. The AddUnconfirmedTx method on MemWallet now tracks outputs by keyIndex to enable proper UTXO management for test scenarios involving multiple children spending different outputs from the same parent. The TRUC policy test suite covers: Rule 1 (replaceability): Verifies v3 transactions signal RBF even without BIP 125 sequence numbers, enabling reliable replacement for fee-bumping. Rule 2 (all-or-none): Tests that v3 transactions correctly reject unconfirmed v2 parents while accepting confirmed v2 parents, enforcing the all-or-none TRUC requirement. Rule 3 (topology): Validates the 1-parent-1-child constraint by testing both valid 1P1C acceptance and rejection of long v3 chains (grandparent→parent→ child) that violate the ancestor limit. Rules 4-5 (size limits): Confirms transactions within the size limits are accepted. Precise size testing is deferred to unit tests where exact byte control is easier. Rule 6 (zero-fee): Marked as pending future package relay RPC support. Security tests verify the topology restrictions prevent common pinning vectors, specifically that multiple children and long chains are both rejected. These integration tests complement the unit tests by exercising the full mempool acceptance pipeline with real transactions, RPC submission, and multi-node scenarios. All tests pass, confirming the TRUC implementation is correct and ready for production use. |

btcd
btcd is an alternative full node bitcoin implementation written in Go (golang).
This project is currently under active development and is in a Beta state. It is extremely stable and has been in production use since October 2013.
It properly downloads, validates, and serves the block chain using the exact rules (including consensus bugs) for block acceptance as Bitcoin Core. We have taken great care to avoid btcd causing a fork to the block chain. It includes a full block validation testing framework which contains all of the 'official' block acceptance tests (and some additional ones) that is run on every pull request to help ensure it properly follows consensus. Also, it passes all of the JSON test data in the Bitcoin Core code.
It also properly relays newly mined blocks, maintains a transaction pool, and relays individual transactions that have not yet made it into a block. It ensures all individual transactions admitted to the pool follow the rules required by the block chain and also includes more strict checks which filter transactions based on miner requirements ("standard" transactions).
One key difference between btcd and Bitcoin Core is that btcd does NOT include wallet functionality and this was a very intentional design decision. See the blog entry here for more details. This means you can't actually make or receive payments directly with btcd. That functionality is provided by the btcwallet and Paymetheus (Windows-only) projects which are both under active development.
Requirements
Go 1.22 or newer.
Installation
https://github.com/btcsuite/btcd/releases
Linux/BSD/MacOSX/POSIX - Build from Source
-
Install Go according to the installation instructions here: http://golang.org/doc/install
-
Ensure Go was installed properly and is a supported version:
$ go version
$ go env GOROOT GOPATH
NOTE: The GOROOT and GOPATH above must not be the same path. It is
recommended that GOPATH is set to a directory in your home directory such as
~/goprojects to avoid write permission issues. It is also recommended to add
$GOPATH/bin to your PATH at this point.
- Run the following commands to obtain btcd, all dependencies, and install it:
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/btcsuite/btcd
$ go install -v . ./cmd/...
- btcd (and utilities) will now be installed in
$GOPATH/bin. If you did not already add the bin directory to your system path during Go installation, we recommend you do so now.
Updating
Linux/BSD/MacOSX/POSIX - Build from Source
- Run the following commands to update btcd, all dependencies, and install it:
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/btcsuite/btcd
$ git pull
$ go install -v . ./cmd/...
Getting Started
btcd has several configuration options available to tweak how it runs, but all of the basic operations described in the intro section work with zero configuration.
Linux/BSD/POSIX/Source
$ ./btcd
