Design and evaluation of Swift routing for payment channel network
Blockchain: Research and ApplicationsPayment Channel Networks (PCNs) are a promising alternative to improve the scalability of a blockchain network. A PCN employs off-chain micropayment channels that do not need a global block confirmation procedure, thereby sacrificing the ability to ...

Concurrency and Privacy with Payment-Channel Networks [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security, 2017 Permissionless blockchains protocols such as Bitcoin are inherently limited in transaction throughput and latency. Current efforts to address this key issue focus on off-chain payment channels that can be combined in a Payment-Channel Network (PCN) to enable an unlimited number of payments without requiring to access the blockchain other than to ...

Identifying clusters of anomalous payments in the salvadorian payment system
Latin American Journal of Central Banking, 2022 We develop an unsupervised methodology to group payments and identify possible anomalies. With our methodology, we identify clusters based on a set of network features, using transactional (unlabeled) information from a systemically important payment ...

Towards a Concurrent and Distributed Route Selection for Payment Channel Networks [PDF]
, 2017 Payment channel networks use off-chain transactions to provide virtually arbitrary transaction rates. In this paper, we provide a new perspective on payment channels and consider them as a flow network.
