Description

Fuzz testing injects invalid, malformed, or unexpected data into a program to find coding errors and security vulnerabilities. We propose adding a fuzz testing suite to test and harden RLN.

RGB's rust-lightning fork does inherit upstream LDK's existing fuzz suite, but it hasn't been updated to cover the RGB-specific AFAICT.

Possible inspiration:

Opening to discuss whether there's appetite for this.

Research direction

Review the existing upstream rust-lightning fuzz testing package and the LND fuzz suite, then compare their coverage with RGB-specific behavior in RLN. Define the agreed fuzzing scope and entry points first; done means the project has an accepted RGB-specific fuzz testing suite with coverage and validation criteria.
