Congestion Attacks in Payment Channel Networks
Payment channel networks provide a fast and scalable solution to relay funds, acting as a second layer to slower and less scalable blockchain protocols. In this paper, we present an accessible, low-cost attack in which the attacker paralyzes multiple payment network channels for several days.

Irrational Economic Action: Running a Bitcoin Lightning Node for Negative Profit
Bitcoin’s layer 2 (L2) solution is a payment channel network (PCN) that has an internal market of its own. Businesses (node operators) compete on a cost basis to maximize use of their locked liquidity by minimizing channel fees.

Payment Channel Networks (PCNs) have been proposed as an alternative solution to the scalability, throughput, and cost overhead problems associated with blockchain transactions. By facilitating offchain execution of transactions, PCNs significantly reduce the burden on the blockchain, leading to faster transaction processing, reduced transaction fees ...
