dig-rpc

An axum-based JSON-RPC server framework for a DIG node. It serves the canonical dig-rpc-types interface over the three DIG transport surfaces and owns everything transport-shaped so a node doesn't have to.

Depends ONLY on dig-rpc-types — no node or service crate. The node supplies method semantics through one small trait, [RpcHandler].

What it owns

• Three surfaces, one RpcServer each over the same handler:
  • Loopback — plain HTTP, ALL tiers (the local control surface; loopback bind enforced);
  • PublicRead — HTTPS, PublicRead tier only (browser / anonymous reads);
  • Peer — mTLS, the peer allowlist only (other DIG nodes).
• The surface/tier allowlist boundary — a control method is unreachable off loopback (-32030 UNAUTHORIZED); a non-allowlisted method is unreachable over the peer surface (-32601). Enforced in-handler; cannot be bypassed.
• The JSON-RPC 2.0 envelope + the uniform error envelope.
• rpc.discover served from the generated OpenRPC document (never the handler), so discovery can't drift.
• Per-(peer, tier) rate limiting.
• Graceful shutdown driven by any future.
• mTLS / HTTPS transport via rustls + axum-server.

The full contract is in SPEC.md.

Minimal node

use std::sync::Arc;
use dig_rpc::{RpcHandler, RpcServer, RpcServerMode};
use dig_rpc_types::{Method, RpcError, ErrorCode};
use serde_json::{json, Value};

struct MyNode;

#[async_trait::async_trait]
impl RpcHandler for MyNode {
    async fn handle(&self, method: Method, _params: Value) -> Result<Value, RpcError> {
        match method {
            Method::Health => Ok(json!({ "status": "ok" })),
            other => Err(RpcError::of(ErrorCode::MethodNotFound, other.name())),
        }
    }
}

# async fn run(stop: tokio::sync::oneshot::Receiver<()>) -> Result<(), dig_rpc::RpcServerError> {
let server = RpcServer::new(
    Arc::new(MyNode),
    RpcServerMode::loopback("127.0.0.1:9778".parse().unwrap()),
);
server.serve(async move { let _ = stop.await; }).await
# }
