monero-rpc-rs VS rust-internet2

We have now completed the necessary interfaces for communicating with both blockchains - something we termed syncers. The integration work in the node is mostly complete. For bitcoin, we are currently using the electrum protocol, while for monero we are communicating with the monero daemon and monero-wallet-rpc. Using the monero-wallet-rpc for multiple swaps at a time proved quite slow during our testing, so we are now exploring the usage of vtnerd's monero light wallet server. In contrast to the monero-wallet-rpc, the light wallet server can keep track of and scan for transactions of multiple distinct view keys at a time. Our work integrating the monero rpc interfaces also led to some pull requests to monero-rpc-rs in the monero-ecosystem project.

Additionally, monero-rs and rust-internet2's new upstream releases include our PRs needed for Farcaster :)

We started contributing upstream to rust-internet2, a project devoted to creating the networking components and runtime backbones for building trustless, censorship resistant, and private decentralized applications. We implemented the abstractions needed to support transmitting our peer protocol messages over the wire between the swap participants, and the rust-internet2 maintainer has been very welcoming.
