A Survey on Off-chain Networks: Frameworks, Technologies, Solutions and Challenges. (arXiv:2311.10298v1 [cs.CR])

Blockchain has received increasing attention in academia and industry.
However, the increasing transaction volumes and limited on-chain storage
underscore scalability as a key challenge hindering the widespread adoption of
blockchain. Fortunately, off-chain networks that enable transactions outside
the blockchain show promising potential to mitigate the scalability challenge.
Off-chain solutions that address blockchain scalability hurdles, such as
payment channel networks, facilitate secure and fast off-chain transactions,
thus relieving the main chain's strain. In this article, we provide a
comprehensive review of …
