Feature: Bi-Directional Payment Channel

[julio4]

Description

A bi-directional payment channel implementation enable off-chain transactions between two parties (Alice and Bob). They allow both parties to exchange funds back and forth without creating on-chain transactions for each transfer.

Show an implementation of such channel on Starknet.

Criteria

• Include integration tests

I will solve this issue by implementing a bi-directional payment channel on Starknet, next i will create a smart contract with functions for deposit, transfer, close, and settle.
I will then store each party's balance and handle off-chain transactions with cryptographic proofs. Allowing both parties to update balances off-chain, and finalize only when the channel is closed. Lastly i will integrate tests to ensure deposits, transfers, and dispute resolution work correctly, then deploy the contract to Starknet.
Kindly assign .

Hi, I would love to contribute to this issue. I have been learning Cairo for the past 3 months and been creating guides for Starknet contracts during my internship at Nethermind (already completed), including ERC-720 and ERC-20. I started to contribute to Open Source projects during this ODHack, this issue would be an amazing opportunity to start my path as open source contributor in the Starknet ecosystem.

To solve this issue I would create an implementation of bi-directional payment channel and write integration tests using the resources you shared as the inspiration for it.

Hello Julio I'd like to work on this. I have experience in Cairo contributing to Kakarot-ssj, and I am confident in tackling this issue.
I'll make sure to communicate if I encounter any problem along the way.

@Gerson2102 Did you made any progress on this?

[Gerson2102]

@julio4 hey Julio, I forgot to notify you on this, I'm sorry. I couldn't work on it because of other tasks that I was assigned during the Hackathon. And I asked a question on the Telegram group and no one replied. So when that happened I decided to move on to other tasks that I had to do in that moment.
