Lightning & L2
Software Releases & Project Updates
- 00:54:23 Phoenix 3rd Generation Beta Announced
- Splicing: single dynamic channel, no more 1% fee on inbound liquidity, better predictability and control, trustless swaps
- 1 channel per user means 1 UTXO per user. This is the smallest on-chain footprint possible for self-custody on Bitcoin. If you keep stacking, the channel will keep growing in size.
- The fee model changes:
- Only mining fees are due on incoming payments (vs 1%/3000 sat)
- 0.4% for sending Lightning payments (vs 0.05% - 0.5%)
- When the mempool is empty you can deposit funds to your wallet for a fee as low as 300 sat.
- More predictability and control:
- Channel management policy is customizable
- Phoenix will tell you in advance if a Lightning invoice will not fit in your channel
- The fee for outgoing Lightning payment is now shown before making the payment
- Trustless Swaps
- Swap-outs (paying a bitcoin address) actually spend directly from your channel.
- You can choose the feerate, and use fee-bumping like with a regular on-chain wallet.

- Security notifications: New notifications area shows updates from the LNbits team to notify about new version releases and warnings. This is an opt-in feature.
- Killswitch: Allows lnbits to temporarily disable your LNbits instance from making any payments until you restart it. Intended to protect users from loss of funds in the event of a security incident. Killswitch will only trigger in the event of a critical exploit. This is an opt-in feature.

You are making even big fans of yours nervous by being gaslighty and disingenuous on this issue.â
Bitcoin Optech Newsletter

- LN specification clean up proposed
- Rusty Russell proposes a clean-up of the Lightning Network (LN) specification.
- Some outdated features will be removed, and ongoing support for other features will be assumed.
- Results of a survey show that nearly all nodes support variable-sized onion messages, gossip queries, data loss protection, and static remote-party keys.
- Variable-sized onion messages allow relaying arbitrary data to specific hops but limit the number of hops if data size increases.
- Gossip queries enable nodes to request specific subsets of gossip messages, optimizing bandwidth and processing time.
- Data loss protection allows nodes to detect and close channels in the latest state when reconnecting.
- Static remote-party keys ensure funds are consistently sent to the same address in each channel update.
- Initial feedback on the clean-up proposal PR is positive.
- 257
- Preventing coinjoin pinning with v3 transaction relay
- Greg Sanders proposes v3 transaction relay rules to prevent coinjoin pinning.
- Coinjoin-style transactions can use a script requiring signatures from all participants or a participant with a timelock expiration.
- Participants must coordinate to co-sign any conflicting transactions until the timelock expires.
- This approach ensures transaction security and prevents one participant from blocking the coinjoin transaction.
- Speculatively using hoped-for consensus changes
- Robin Linus proposes speculative use of hoped-for consensus changes on Bitcoin-Dev mailing list.
- The idea involves spending money to a script fragment with a long timelock, allowing miners to claim funds in 20 years.
- The script is designed to change meaning with a potential consensus rule upgrade, like adding OP_ZKP_VERIFY opcode.
- This could enable creating a one-way peg to an alternative chain, receiving equivalent BTC on the sidechain.
- After 20 years, a ZKP proof could be used to withdraw locked deposits and create a two-way peg.
- Users making such transactions are betting on Bitcoinâs consensus rules being changed.
- The proposal hasnât received discussion on the mailing list yet.
