Hi @joostjager! This PR is actually a continuation of the original thread that led to the The motivation behind it was to provide users with the ability to handle So, as a first step, we worked on refactoring most of the Offers-related code out of Hope that gives a clear picture of the intent behind this! Let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions—would love to hear them. Thanks a lot! |

Just one comment - is native async in the picture too for this? We've converted other parts of LDK to be native async.

Hi Joost! In pr3833.02, I’ve scoped this PR down to focus solely on introducing synchronous currency conversion support.
We’re still working through some open questions around the asynchronous path, including whether we can or want to go fully native async, so I’ve left that out for now to keep the scope clean. I’ll keep you posted as the design direction evolves.
Appreciate the nudge, thanks again!

We probably want to explain also in the docs what explicit and derived mean from an LDK point of view?
Adds the `CurrencyConversion` trait to allow users to define custom logic for converting fiat amounts into millisatoshis (msat). This abstraction lays the groundwork for supporting Offers denominated in fiat currencies, where conversion is inherently context-dependent.
This commit updates the Bolt12Invoice amount creation logic to utilize the `CurrencyConversion` trait, enabling more flexible and customizable handling of fiat-to-msat conversions. Reasoning The `CurrencyConversion` trait is passed upstream into the invoice's amount creation flow, where it is used to interpret the Offer’s currency amount (if present) into millisatoshis. This change establishes a unified mechanism for amount handling—regardless of whether the Offer’s amount is denominated in Bitcoin or fiat, or whether the InvoiceRequest specifies an amount or not.

Following the introduction of the `CurrencyConversion` trait, this commit integrates it into the `Flow` and `ChannelManager` as a required parameter. This change enables users to supply their own fiat-to-msat conversion logic when constructing the Flow or ChannelManager, making synchronised currency handling fully customizable at the application level.

The multiplication of currency_conversion.fiat_to_msats(iso4217_code) * amount could overflow before the subsequent checked_mul(quantity) catches it. Consider using checked_mul for both operations to ensure safe arithmetic:
let unit_msats = currency_conversion.fiat_to_msats(iso4217_code)
.checked_mul(amount)
.ok_or(Bolt12SemanticError::InvalidAmount)?;
unit_msats.checked_mul(quantity).ok_or(Bolt12SemanticError::InvalidAmount)This guards against overflow in both multiplication steps.

This PR introduces support for Offers that specify amounts in fiat currencies by adding a synchronous currency conversion mechanism to the
Flow.To enable this, it defines a new
CurrencyConversiontrait, allowing users to provide custom fiat-to-msat conversion logic. This trait is threaded upstream into bothFlowandChannelManager, enabling unified handling of amount creation and verification, regardless of whether the Offer amount is denominated in Bitcoin or fiat.The approach is intentionally synchronous, focusing on minimal, clean, and maintainable changes. While an synchronous model (e.g., event-driven just-in-time conversion or injecting custom
payment_hash) is also being explored, it adds considerable complexity. By introducing currency support in a synchronous form first, this PR cleanly isolates the core functionality from broader architectural changes.The trait exposes a single fiat-to-msat conversion function, where the user supplies a unit multiplier (e.g., msats per USD). All other logic, such as scaling by quantity and internal amount construction, is handled internally. This design reduces ambiguity, ensures correctness, and keeps the integration lightweight for the user.
In essence, this PR lays the foundation for robust fiat-denominated Offer support in a way that is simple, extensible, and forward-compatible.
