| summary | This website explains how a network of two-party ledger entries can be used to transfer payments securely without needing trust in any node within the network. The system employs a routing mechanism akin to internet packet transmission, with nodes along the path being untrusted entities. To ensure payment integrity, an atomicity enforcement script is utilized. This script guarantees that either the entire payment succeeds or fails, managing time-locks for atomicity and preventing partial execution. |
