The idea behind bitcoin is to have peer to peer transactions.
Lightning is good because you don’t need to have a trusted third party to open a lightning channel and you can transact small amounts as many times as you want with little cost.
It seems like lightning has a tendency to centralize into trusted third parties though. Don’t ask my why, I don’t know.🤷
Liquid is a trusted third-party company.
Fedimint is a trusted third-party federation.
Cashu is a trusted third party mint.
I’m wondering if anyone knows of a scaling architecture that does not require trusted third parties.
Just seeing if anyone has heard of projects like that.
