Experiments are brewing. Behind the scenes, Lightning Network developers are planning to (eventually) completely rewrite an important part of bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>Known as Bitcoin\u2019s second layer, since most of the action takes place off the blockchain, Lightning is being built out for faster, cheaper and more scalable bitcoin payments. The network is functional today, but it turns out it might make sense to strip out an important part and replace it with new technology to strengthen privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Hashed Timelock Contracts (HTLCs) are an integral piece of the Lightning Network, making it possible to send payments without trusting anyone. Now, developers are exploring replacing them with Point Timelock Contracts (otherwise known as \u201cpayment points\u201d or PTLCs), which can do the same thing, they say, but better.<\/p>\n<p>The idea was first proposed by pseudonymous Lightning developer ZmnSCPxj, whose open-source development work is sponsored by Square Crypto, an R&amp;D arm of the Silicon Valley payments unicorn.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Read more:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/square-crypto-bankrolls-star-lightning-developer-known-as-zmnscpxj\"><strong><em>Square Crypto Bankrolls Star Lightning Developer Known as \u2018ZmnSCPxj\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At the forefront of exploring this enhancement is Suredbits developer Nadav Kohen, who started looking into the idea because he was interested in the possibilities of bitcoin smart contracts, which describe more complex conditions required before a payment can be made, such as requiring a certain date to have passed, or requiring that the temperature somewhere be above, say, 90 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve spent a lot more time digging into what can be done using PTLCs that can\u2019t be done with HTLCs and it turns out you can do some pretty complicated \u2026 contracts without losing the privacy and speed provided by the Lightning Network,\u201d Kohen said. \u201cAnd furthermore, many existing Lightning-related proposals can become even more powerful and improved when using PTLCs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the Lightning Network is still relatively young, developers are finding new, better ways of constructing it from the ground up. For example,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/new-twist-lightning-tech-coming-soon-bitcoin\" data-reactroot=\"\">Eltoo<\/a>, if implemented, will also be a fundamental change to the network.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>New possibilities<\/h4>\n<p>The Lightning Network is a global payments system made up of at least\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/1ml.com\/statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-reactroot=\"\">12,000 nodes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When someone sends a payment, under the hood it hops from one node to another until it reaches the destination. All this most likely occurs in a fraction of a second. The way payments move across the system without trusting the nodes that the user is passing their bitcoin through is by way of HTLCs.<\/p>\n<p>HTLCs are so named because each node in a payment path receives a \u201chash,\u201d a random-looking string of letters and numbers, which hides the secret that can be used to retrieve the bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Read more:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/new-twist-lightning-tech-coming-soon-bitcoin\"><strong><em>A New Twist On Lightning Tech Could Be Coming Soon to Bitcoin<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One problem with HTLCs is that all intermediaries in the path get the same hash, which can be a problem from a privacy point of view because it gives snoops a little better idea of where a payment is coming from or where it\u2019s going.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I was trying to do surveillance of payment activity on the Lightning Network, I could set up a bunch of routing nodes and if I route two payments in two different places that have the same hash, I can be sure that these two payments were on the same route which narrows the possible senders and receivers of this payment considerably,\u201d Kohen said.<\/p>\n<p>PTLC, on the other hand, can add a \u201crandom tweak\u201d at each hop, Kohen said, making it harder to tell that they are part of the same payment path. (Those interested in the technical bits can read Kohen\u2019s series of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/suredbits.com\/payment-points-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-reactroot=\"\">technical explanations<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>This is the reason Kohen believes the change is \u201cnecessary\u201d for Lightning.<\/p>\n<p>Developers have been trying to improve Lightning\u2019s privacy as much as possible. Bitcoin is quite transparent because every transaction is recorded in a public repository. The Lightning Network\u2019s \u201coff-chain\u201d transactions might show promise in changing this, since payments are not indelibly imprinted in the Bitcoin blockchain.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Read more:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/bitcoins-future-exactly-how-a-coming-upgrade-could-improve-privacy-and-scaling\"><strong><em>Bitcoin\u2019s Future: Exactly How a Coming Upgrade Could Improve Privacy and Scaling<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As a bonus, PTLCs open up some other possibilities too. They build in some protections against \u201cwormhole attacks,\u201d used by malicious actors to sneakily pilfer fees that are supposed to be paid to intermediary nodes, Nadav explained in his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/suredbits.com\/payment-points-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-reactroot=\"\">post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And useful information can be stored in a PTLC, making it a possible tool for more complex smart contracts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpecifically, there is very little useful information in a hash, while there is significant information that can be stored in a point,\u201d Kohen said.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, PTLCs could be used for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/suredbits.com\/payment-points-part-3-escrow-contracts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-reactroot=\"\">escrow<\/a>, for example, or for \u201coracles,\u201d long a hot topic in cryptocurrency, where payments depend on data incoming from the outside world.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Waiting on &lsquo;Schnorr&rsquo;<\/h4>\n<p>Kohen and others are actively researching the change and its potential impact, but it will take some time before developers can make the shift.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, the change could be added to Lightning now. At a virtual\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/bitcoiners-sprint-to-improve-lightning-network-in-2-day-virtual-hackathon\" data-reactroot=\"\">Lightning hackathon last month<\/a>, Kohen, Blockstream engineer Jonas Nick, and others created a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/n1ckler\/status\/1246868608388608002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-reactroot=\"\">proof of concept<\/a>\u00a0over Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Read more:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/bitcoiners-sprint-to-improve-lightning-network-in-2-day-virtual-hackathon\"><strong><em>Bitcoiners Sprint to Improve Lightning Network in 2-Day Virtual Hackathon<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kohen argued that the change is \u201cthe best\u201d if it\u2019s built on top of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/bitcoins-future-exactly-how-a-coming-upgrade-could-improve-privacy-and-scaling\" data-reactroot=\"\">Schnorr\/Taproot<\/a>, a likely upgrade that hasn\u2019t made its way into bitcoin just yet. Schnorr\/Taproot offers a new way to \u201csign\u201d transactions in bitcoin, which is how a user cryptographically proves that they own bitcoin and are allowed to transfer it to someone else. Schnorr\/Taproot offers advantages over bitcoin\u2019s current signature scheme ECDSA.<\/p>\n<p>Without Schnorr ready yet, Kohen and others only plan to use the ECDSA version to experiment with PTLCs in a sandbox so that once Schnorr rolls around, they\u2019ll be ready.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAside from theory there is finally a way to do experimentation now. I\u2019m really looking forward to seeing all of these proposals which have only been on paper come to life finally,\u201d Kohen said, adding:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t intend the current coding work that has been done using ECDSA adaptor signatures to end up in any Lightning implementation\u2019s actual production, but rather I intend to use ECDSA adaptor signatures to test out the large set of proposals that require PTLCs, as well as try to hit the pain points that are not specific to ECDSA-based PTLCs, so that we can have as much of a headstart as we can before Schnorr arrives and it is time to commit to a way of doing PTLCs on lightning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Coordination<\/h4>\n<p>But the steps don\u2019t end there. Once Schnorr is through, the change will require quite a bit of coordination.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that Lightning developers Kohen has talked to agree the change should be made. So far, there\u2019s only been debate about implementation details.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have yet to talk to a single person who does not believe that someday \u2026 Lightning will for sure move to using PTLCs instead of HTLCs. I have met people who disagree about various implementation details but I\u2019ve never met anyone who doesn\u2019t think that PTLCs are inherently superior to HTLCs without any real downside,\u201d Kohen told CoinDesk.<\/p>\n<p>But even with agreement that the change will improve the lightning network, it is a huge change that will take time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRather than a \u2018few changes,\u2019 this would to date be the largest network-level update undertaken to the Lightning Network thus far,\u201d said Lightning Labs CTO Olaoluwa Osuntokun in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lists.linuxfoundation.org\/pipermail\/lightning-dev\/2020-April\/002659.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-reactroot=\"\">an email<\/a>\u00a0discussing the change with other developers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d caution against underestimating how long all of this will take in practice, and the degree of synchronization required to pull it all off properly,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research is being conducted.
