### Docker environment variables
| Variable | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `BAL_PUSHER_NETWORK` | Network to run pusher on (`bitcoin`, `testnet`, `testnet4`, `signet`, `regtest`). | `bitcoin` |

# bal-pusher
`bal-pusher` monitors Bitcoin blocks via ZMQ and pushes time-locked transactions from the database to the Bitcoin network when their **locktime** exceeds the **median time past** (MTP).
## Prerequisites
- **Bitcoin Core** with ZMQ support enabled. Add to `bitcoin.conf`:
```
zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332
```
- **Rust and Cargo**: [Rust Installation](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
- **Libraries**: `libssl-dev`, `libsodium-dev`, `libzmq5-dev`, `libsqlite3-dev`
## Running
```bash
bal-pusher [bitcoin|testnet|testnet4|signet|regtest]
```
If no network is specified, defaults to `bitcoin`.
## Configuration (bal-pusher)
### General
| Variable | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `BAL_PUSHER_DB_FILE` | Path to the SQLite3 database file. | `bal.db` |
| `BAL_PUSHER_SEND_STATS` | Send stats to welist server. | `false` |
| `BAL_SERVER_URL` | URL of bal-server (for stats reporting). | - |
| `SSL_KEY_PATH` | Ed25519 private key for signing stats reports. | `private_key.pem` |
| `WELIST_SERVER_URL` | Welist server URL. | `https://welist.bitcoin-after.life` |
### Per-network configuration
Each network (`bitcoin`, `regtest`, `testnet`, `testnet4`, `signet`) supports the following variables.
Replace `{NETWORK}` with the uppercase network name (e.g., `REGTEST`, `BITCOIN`).
| Variable | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `BAL_PUSHER_{NETWORK}_ZMQ_HASHBLOCK` | ZMQ endpoint for block notifications. | `tcp://127.0.0.1:28332` (mainnet) |
| `BAL_PUSHER_{NETWORK}_COOKIE_FILE` | Absolute path to Bitcoin Core cookie file. | `$HOME/.bitcoin/{dir}/.cookie` |
| `BAL_PUSHER_{NETWORK}_RPC_USER` | Bitcoin Core RPC username (alternative to cookie auth). | - |
| `BAL_PUSHER_{NETWORK}_RPC_PASSWORD` | Bitcoin Core RPC password. | - |
| `BAL_PUSHER_{NETWORK}_HOST` | Bitcoin Core RPC host. | `http://127.0.0.1` |
| `BAL_PUSHER_{NETWORK}_PORT` | Bitcoin Core RPC port. | `8332` (mainnet) |
| `BAL_PUSHER_{NETWORK}_DIR_PATH` | Bitcoin Core data directory subfolder. | `` (mainnet) |
Default ZMQ ports per network:
| Network | ZMQ Port | RPC Port |
