lightning-channel-factories
Technical reference on Lightning Network channel factories, multi-party channels, LSP architectures, and Bitcoin Layer 2 scaling without soft forks. Covers Decker-Wattenhofer, timeout trees, MuSig2 key aggregation, HTLC/PTLC forwarding, and watchtower breach detection.
Why this skill is useful
Provides domain-specific knowledge on Lightning Network channel factories and multi-party channels that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Use this skill when Building or reviewing Lightning Network channel factory implementations Working with multi-party channels, LSP architectures, or Layer 2 scaling Needing guidance on Decker-Wattenhofer, timeout trees, MuSig2, HTLC/PTLC, or watchtower patterns Do not use this skill when The task is unrelated to Bitcoin or Lightning Network infrastructure You need a different blockchain or Layer 2 outside this scope Instructions Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes. Provide actionable steps and verification. The declared community implementation at 8144225309/SuperScalar returned HTTP 404 on 2026-10-14. Do not treat it as a verified production implementation, funded-mainnet deployment, 400-test suite or audited watchtower. The original SuperScalar proposal is a protocol source, not proof that a similarly named repository implements it correctly. Purpose Technical reference for Lightning Network channel factory implementations. Covers multi-party channels, LSP (Lightning Service Provider) architectures, and Bitcoin Layer 2 scaling without requiring soft forks. Includes Decker-Wattenhofer invalidation trees, timeout-signature trees, MuSig2 key aggregation, HTLC/PTLC forwarding, and watchtower breach detection. Key Topics Channel factory implementation in C MuSig2 (BIP-327) and Schnorr adaptor signatures Encrypted Noise NK transport protocol SQLite persistence layer Watchtower breach detection HTLC/PTLC forwarding Regtest, signet, testnet, and mainnet support Actual implementation tests, vectors and reproducible exit behavior References SuperScalar project: https://github.com/8144225309/SuperScalar Website: https://SuperScalar.win Original proposal: https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/superscalar-laddered-timeout-tree-structured-decker-wattenhofer-factories/1143 Example User request: Build or reviewing Lightning Network channel factory implementations. …
