Show Notes

"Timeout Trees is a very concrete and specific proposal for a channel factory design that actually attempts to address the real issues of use and implementation instead of a half-defined and vague concept. That is massive progress in terms of addressing Lightning's long-term scaling limitations." — Shinobi

Today we dive into a cool proposal that takes advantage of covenants to build the first, practical implementation of a "lightning factory," or in other words, a way to create hundreds, even thousands of lightning channels taht exist entirely off chain and require only the most minimal footprint in the cases where things go wrong. Another great piece by Shinobi breaking down the technical developments that matter.
