Scaling with LND

on YouTube ↗34m

" summary

LND teams aim to scale Lightning to millions of payments by tackling concrete limits: pathfinding latency and database bloat. The plan uses lnd 0.14 (moves the payment graph into memory for ~10x route calc speed), splitting invoice secrets from metadata, the HTLC interceptor to accept huge invoice rates via virtual channels, horizontal private nodes to autoscale invoicing, and a noncustodial swap service landing loop to push inbound funds on chain and free liquidity. Practical fixes: delete old payment records, rebalance or open larger channels.
