Unjamming Lightning: A Systematic Approach

ePrint Report: Unjamming Lightning: A Systematic Approach

Clara Shikhelman, Sergei Tikhomirov

Users of decentralized financial networks suffer from inventive security exploits. Identity-based fraud prevention methods are inapplicable in these networks, as they contradict their privacy-minded design philosophy. Novel mitigation strategies are therefore needed. Their rollout, however, may damage other desirable network properties.


In this work, we introduce an evaluation framework for mitigation strategies in decentralized financial networks. This framework allows researchers and developers to examine and compare proposed protocol modifications …
