This expert skill reviews the architecture and design of the Bitcoin Lightning Network protocol. It analyzes complex Layer 2 scaling tradeoffs, compares various channel factory approaches, and evaluates critical technical aspects—including trust models, on-chain footprint, consensus requirements, HTLC/PTLC compatibility, liveness guarantees, and watchtower support. Use this when assessing the cryptographic and systemic soundness of L2 blockchain protocols.

A comprehensive technical reference for implementing advanced Lightning Network channel factories. It covers complex topics such as multi-party channels, Layer 2 scaling on Bitcoin, and advanced protocols including Decker-Wattenhofer invalidation trees, MuSig2 key aggregation, and encrypted Noise NK transport. Essential for developers building highly scalable and secure Bitcoin infrastructure.

An expert guide detailing the SuperScalar protocol and Bitcoin Lightning channel factories. It explains scalable onboarding mechanisms using shared UTXOs, advanced cryptographic structures like Decker-Wattenhofer trees, and MuSig2. This knowledge is vital for understanding how Bitcoin can scale significantly without requiring disruptive soft forks.

This comprehensive skill allows users to manage crypto assets across seven major blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, and others. Functions include checking real-time balances, executing token swaps, analyzing detailed portfolios, and initiating secure, cross-chain transactions. It supports DeFi interaction and provides robust safety checks before execution.

A comprehensive guide and workflow for digital forensic investigators to analyze ransomware artifacts. This process involves preserving volatile evidence (memory dumps), identifying the ransomware variant from file extensions and ransom notes, establishing the attack timeline using Prefetch and Event Logs, and extracting critical Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) such as Bitcoin addresses and Tor sites. Essential for incident response and recovery planning.

A specialized tool for blockchain forensics, designed to trace the movement of ransomware payments across public blockchains (like Bitcoin). By leveraging APIs from services like Chainalysis and WalletExplorer, it identifies wallet clusters, tracks funds through mixers and tumblers, and maps fund flow from the victim to final exchange deposits. Essential for law enforcement attribution and threat intelligence gathering.
