## Setup
LND and the swaplet are using go modules. Make sure that the `GO111MODULE` env
variable is set to `on`.
In order to execute a swap, LND needs to be rebuilt with sub servers enabled.

# Loop Architecture
Lightning Loop's architecture for orchestrating submarine swaps is based on a
client/server concept.
The client has a swap execution daemon `loopd` controlled by a CLI application
`loop` which uses a gRPC API. The client daemon initiates swaps and handles
their progress through swap phases. To manage keys and the connection to the
LN/BTC network layers the client daemon connects to a local lnd wallet.
Client daemons communicate with the Loop server daemon, which is opaque but
operates in a similar way. The server is not a trusted component in this
architecture; the client daemon validates that the terms of the swap are
acceptable and the server cannot access the swap funds unless the swap enters
the "complete" phase.
## Loop Out Swap (off -> on-chain)
Phases:
1. Initiation: Client queries for terms of a swap
2. Fee: Client sends a small fee HTLC that is unrestricted
3. Funding: Client sends a funding HTLC locked to a preimage they generate
4. Payment: Server sends the funds on-chain locked to the funding preimage hash
5. Complete: Client uses the preimage to take the on-chain funds.
6. Final: The server uses the on-chain-revealed preimage to claim funding HTLC
