Scaling Bitcoin Off-Chain

on YouTube ↗01h 00m

" summary

Panel covers practical Lightning work: capacity is pre‑committed so routing is capital‑allocation, not TPS only; one node reports forwarding about $15–16 million over a year on ~$4 million capacity (big leverage). Tools and proposals: liquidity advertisements (decentralized bulletin-board to buy inbound liquidity), multi‑fund v2 channels and multifund batching to open many bi‑funded channels in a single on‑chain tx, and Greenlight (client-held keys + backend nodes). Loop and batching services exist and are already interoperable with LND and c-lightning.
