This project uses goreleaser for streamlined binary and library deployment to GitHub. To get started, install it via:

brew install goreleaser

The release process is defined in the .goreleaser.yml configuration file.

Then create and push a new Git tag using:

magex version:bump push=true bump=patch branch=main

This process ensures consistent, repeatable releases with properly versioned artifacts and citation metadata.

Set up the Go-Pre-commit System to run the same formatting, linting, and tests defined in AGENTS.md before every commit:

go install github.com/mrz1836/go-pre-commit/cmd/go-pre-commit@latest
go-pre-commit install

The system is configured via modular env files in .github/env/ and provides 17x faster execution than traditional Python-based pre-commit hooks. See the complete documentation for details.

All workflows are driven by modular configuration in .github/env/ — no YAML editing required.

To update all dependencies (Go modules, linters, and related tools), run:

magex deps:update

This command ensures all dependencies are brought up to date in a single step, including Go modules and any tools managed by MAGE-X. It is the recommended way to keep your development environment and CI in sync with the latest versions.

Every configurable variable is described in config.example.yaml.

Default Configuration:

Running spv-wallet without configuration uses defaults from defaults.go:

• Cache: freecache
• Database: SQLite
• Paymail: enabled (signing disabled)
• BEEF: enabled

Default config variables can be overridden by (in order of priority):

1. Flags (highest priority)
2. Environment variables
3. Config file (lowest priority)

Flags

-C, --config_file string   custom config file path
-h, --help                 show help
-v, --version              show version
-d, --dump_config          dump config to file, specified by config_file (-C) flag

Generate config file with defaults:

go run ./cmd/main.go -d

The default config file path is the project root with filename config.yaml. Override with the -C flag:

go run ./cmd/main.go -C /my/config.json

Environment Variables

Override any config variable using the SPVWALLET_ prefix with the mapstructure annotation path (use _ as delimiter, all uppercase).

Example: Given this fragment from config.example.yaml:

auth:
    admin_key: xpub...
    require_signing: false
    scheme: xpub

Override admin_key with:

SPVWALLET_AUTH_ADMIN_KEY="your_admin_key"

TAAL API Key

To use TAAL services, an API key is required.

Getting an API Key:

1. Visit platform.taal.com
2. Register or login to TAAL Platform
3. Find your mainnet and testnet API keys on the dashboard

See the TAAL documentation for details.

Configuration: Add your key to config.example.yaml at nodes → apis → token

The start.sh script uses docker-compose.yml to start SPV Wallet with web-frontend, web-backend, and your choice of database and cache storage.

Running Options

Manual Configuration (interactive prompts):

./start.sh

Flag-based Configuration:

./start.sh -db postgresql -c redis -sw true -b false

Run ./start.sh -h or ./start.sh --help to see all available options.

Load Previous Configuration:

./start.sh -l

This uses a previously created .env.config file.
