Show Notes

In this episode of Bitcoin Audible, I revisit an important concept that deserves more attention: timeout trees and their potential to revolutionize scaling for the Lightning Network.

Based on Shinobi's article, "A Solution to Scaling Lightning," we explore how this innovative proposal leverages CheckTemplateVerify (CTV) to create a simple yet powerful scaling primitive. Could timeout trees be the key to unlocking the next order of magnitude in Lightning's efficiency?

I break down the mechanics of timeout trees, their implications for channel factories, and how they address Lightning's long-term scaling limitations. Along the way, I share my own commentary on the broader impact of this technology, from its role in decentralizing trust to its potential for reshaping local and global financial systems.

What does this mean for the future of Bitcoin? How can timeout trees empower families, communities, and individuals to reclaim sovereignty in a world dominated by centralized systems? Let's find out.
