Rust SDK
High-performance Rust SDK with QUIC transport, async/await patterns, and zero-cost abstractions for system-level agent integration.
Why Rust?
Installation
Add Opacus to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
opacus-sdk = "1.0"
tokio = { version = "1.36", features = ["full"] }
Quick Start
Basic Client Example
use opacus_sdk::{OpacusClient, AgentMetadata};
use std::error::Error;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box> {
// Initialize client
let client = OpacusClient::new(
"https://evmrpc-testnet.0g.ai",
"0x5FbDB2315678afecb367f032d93F642f64180aa3",
std::env::var("PRIVATE_KEY")?
).await?;
// Register agent
let metadata = AgentMetadata {
name: "RustAgent".to_string(),
version: "1.0.0".to_string(),
capabilities: vec![
"data-processing".to_string(),
"ml-inference".to_string()
],
};
let agent_id = client.register_agent(metadata).await?;
println!("✅ Agent registered: {}", agent_id);
Ok(())
}
QUIC Transport Architecture
🚀 What is QUIC?
QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections) is a modern transport protocol that combines the reliability of TCP with the speed of UDP. Built into HTTP/3, it offers:
- 0-RTT connection establishment (instant reconnects)
- Multiplexed streams without head-of-line blocking
- Built-in TLS 1.3 encryption
- Connection migration (survive IP changes)
Core API Reference
OpacusClient
Main client for interacting with Opacus Protocol:
pub struct OpacusClient {
// Internal fields...
}
impl OpacusClient {
/// Create new client instance
pub async fn new(
rpc_url: &str,
contract_address: &str,
private_key: String
) -> Result;
/// Register a new AI agent
pub async fn register_agent(
&self,
metadata: AgentMetadata
) -> Result;
/// Get agent information
pub async fn get_agent(
&self,
agent_id: &str
) -> Result;
/// Send encrypted message to another agent
pub async fn send_message(
&self,
to: &str,
data: Vec
) -> Result<(), OpacusError>;
}
QUIC Transport Example
Establish high-performance QUIC connection:
use opacus_sdk::transport::QuicTransport;
use std::net::SocketAddr;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box> {
// Create QUIC transport
let transport = QuicTransport::new(
"0.0.0.0:4433".parse::()?,
None // Auto-generate certificates
).await?;
// Connect to relay server
let conn = transport.connect(
"relay.opacus.io:4433".parse()?
).await?;
println!("✅ QUIC connection established");
// Open bidirectional stream
let (mut send, mut recv) = conn.open_bi().await?;
// Send data
send.write_all(b"Hello from Rust!").await?;
send.finish().await?;
// Receive response
let response = recv.read_to_end(1024).await?;
println!("Received: {:?}", String::from_utf8(response)?);
Ok(())
}
Advanced Features
Relay Server
Run your own QUIC relay for agent communication:
use opacus_sdk::relay::RelayServer;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box> {
// Create relay server
let mut relay = RelayServer::new(4433);
// Start listening
relay.start().await?;
println!("🚀 Relay server listening on port 4433");
// Server runs until Ctrl+C
tokio::signal::ctrl_c().await?;
println!("Shutting down...");
Ok(())
}
Cryptographic Operations
Key Generation
use opacus_sdk::crypto::KeyManager;
// Generate Ed25519 keypair (signing)
let key_manager = KeyManager::new();
let ed_keypair = key_manager.generate_ed25519();
let ed_public = ed_keypair.verifying_key().to_bytes();
println!("Ed25519 Public Key: {}", hex::encode(ed_public));
// Generate X25519 keypair (encryption)
let x_keypair = key_manager.generate_x25519();
let x_public = x_keypair.public_key().as_bytes();
println!("X25519 Public Key: {}", hex::encode(x_public));
Message Signing & Verification
use opacus_sdk::crypto::SecurityManager;
use ed25519_dalek::SigningKey;
let security = SecurityManager::new();
// Sign message
let message = b"Important agent data";
let signing_key = SigningKey::from_bytes(&private_key);
let signature = security.sign_message(message, &signing_key)?;
println!("Signature: {}", hex::encode(signature.to_bytes()));
// Verify signature
let is_valid = security.verify_signature(
message,
&signature,
&signing_key.verifying_key()
)?;
assert!(is_valid);
println!("✅ Signature verified!");
End-to-End Encryption
use opacus_sdk::crypto::SecurityManager;
let security = SecurityManager::new();
// Alice wants to send encrypted message to Bob
let alice_secret = x25519_dalek::StaticSecret::random();
let bob_public = x25519_dalek::PublicKey::from([/* Bob's public key */]);
// Derive shared secret (ECDH)
let shared = alice_secret.diffie_hellman(&bob_public);
// Encrypt message
let plaintext = b"Secret agent communication";
let encrypted = security.encrypt_message(
plaintext,
shared.as_bytes()
)?;
println!("Encrypted: {}", hex::encode(&encrypted));
// Bob decrypts with his private key
let bob_secret = x25519_dalek::StaticSecret::random();
let alice_public = x25519_dalek::PublicKey::from(
alice_secret.to_bytes()
);
let shared_bob = bob_secret.diffie_hellman(&alice_public);
let decrypted = security.decrypt_message(
&encrypted,
shared_bob.as_bytes()
)?;
assert_eq!(plaintext, decrypted.as_slice());
println!("✅ Message decrypted: {}", String::from_utf8(decrypted)?);

Error Handling
Opacus uses Result types with custom error enum:
#[derive(Debug, thiserror::Error)]
pub enum OpacusError {
#[error("Network error: {0}")]
Network(#[from] std::io::Error),
#[error("Cryptography error: {0}")]
Crypto(String),
#[error("Contract error: {0}")]
Contract(String),
#[error("Invalid agent ID: {0}")]
InvalidAgent(String),
}
// Usage
match client.register_agent(metadata).await {
Ok(agent_id) => println!("Success: {}", agent_id),
Err(OpacusError::Network(e)) => {
eprintln!("Network issue: {}", e);
}
Err(OpacusError::Crypto(msg)) => {
eprintln!("Crypto problem: {}", msg);
}
Err(e) => eprintln!("Other error: {}", e),
}
