CKB has released the next-generation public Lightning Network Fiber Network light paper, which will go live next week for testing

ChainCatcher message, CKB releases the next-generation public lightning network Fiber Network light paper. Fiber Network is a next-generation public lightning network built on Nervos CKB and off-chain channels, providing fast, low-cost, and decentralized multi-currency payments and peer-to-peer transactions for RGB++ assets.

Similar to the Bitcoin Lightning Network, Fiber Network operates as a layer-two payment channel expansion solution, conducting transactions off-chain to enhance transaction speed and reduce costs while maintaining the security and decentralization of the blockchain. Fiber Network supports multiple asset types; in addition to the CKB native token, any RGB++ asset can be paid on Fiber Network. The overall architecture of Fiber Network includes core modules such as off-chain payment channels, on-chain contracts, multi-hop routing, and monitoring services. Currently, Fiber Network has completed prototype development, achieving basic functionalities for creating, updating, and closing channels between two nodes, while also validating cross-chain functionality with the Bitcoin Lightning Network.
