On the Lifecycle of a Lightning Network Payment Channel
Financial CryptographyThe Bitcoin Lightning Network, launched in 2018, serves as a layer 2 scaling solution for Bitcoin. The Lightning Network allows users to establish channels between each other and subsequently exchange off-chain payments. Together, these channels form a network that facilitates payments between parties even if they do not have a channel in common.

An evaluation of cryptocurrency payment channel networks and their privacy implications [PDF]
ITU Journal on Future and Evolving Technologies, 2021 Cryptocurrencies redefined how money can be stored and transferred among users. However, public blockchain-based cryptocurrencies suffer from high transaction waiting times and fees. To address these challenges, the payment channel network concept is touted as the most viable solution to be used for micro-payments.

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 ...
