summary | This website describes a decentralized transaction system where a network of interconnected ledgers (nodes) is created, enabling the routing of payments similar to internet packet routing. The key feature is that these nodes are untrusted, as transactions are enforced by scripts ensuring atomicity; meaning the entire payment must either succeed or fail entirely, without partial completion due to time-locks. This design promotes security and trustlessness in the network. |
