In fact, developers have been working continuously to see how similar behaviors may be replicated in different industries. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">arlier this month, peer-to-peer cryptocurrency exchange Paxful integrated Lightning Network onto its platform, giving its over 7 million users access to near-instant BTC transfers. I<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">f Lightning is able to maintain a decent rate of growth, the L2 scaling solution could have a capacity of 10,000 BTC by March 2022, according to a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/heres-the-full-story-behind-bitcoin-lightnings-comeback\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">previous article<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, while metrics and adoption paint a bullish picture for LN\u2019s future, there is still a lot of development lacking. The same, in fact, was recently pointed out by a Reddit user.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>LN&#8217;s loopholes exposed?\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last week, a Redditor <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Bitcoin\/comments\/pqjcvo\/stealing_sats_from_the_lightning_network\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">alleged<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> he had discovered a way to attack Lightning Network\u2019s custodial services. He claimed that although LN transaction fees are negligible, they are not zero. While Lightning allows for almost free transactions, it also allows for extremely fast transfers. These negligible amounts add up to worrisome amounts very quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before understanding how attacks on LN will work, it is important to understand that Lightning uses Hash Time Locked Contracts (HTLCs) to route payments that contain two <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fundamental pieces &#8211; A hash lock and a time lock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that there is a secret <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hash that can be revealed for payments to be successfully routed which is called the \u2018preimage.\u2019 Now, since there is also a concept of a time-out wherein payments can be claimed by either party after a certain amount of time passes, it can be taken advantage of by bad actors with a sophisticated understanding of Bitcoin and LN.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Reddit account dubbed \u2018Reckless Satoshi\u2019 highlighted how a &#8220;discrepancy between real routing fees and service\u2019s transaction fee can be exploited for a profit.&#8221; He further noted that if a service is built where withdrawals are not rate limited nor the fee is translated to the user, there might be problems. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, the Redditor used the LN attack on six different services including Bitfinex, Muun, Okex, Lnmarkets, Southxchange, and Walletofsatoshi. After depositing funds into the custodial services, he used &#8220;a node that will be routing the payments between the custodial service and the receiving node.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there is a kernel of truth to the aforementioned, what does it mean? Well, risks pertaining to network congestion causing malicious attacks and loopholes in the network\u2019s development still defy the network\u2019s core principles of security. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, while BTC can become a medium of exchange in the future, it won\u2019t happen until these issues of security are resolved.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s Lightning Network has been quite the head-turner and is often referred to as a game-changer for the blockchain.
