Introducing LayerTree, a non-custodial scaling solution on bitcoin that connects to Lightning. Using covenants, one UXTO can be shared by a million users. Any user can leave at any time in a single transaction. Users don't need to be online to receive. Funds never time out. LayerTree is the next step in bringing bitcoin to billions.

💥 NEW: Lightning Labs Unveils Layertree: Millions Could Share One Bitcoin Output > Lightning Labs CTO Olaoluwa Osuntokun published a 103-page paper on the design > One shared output holds everyone's funds, tracked in a Merkle-sum tree off-chain > Anyone can exit alone in one transaction, the operator cannot block it or seize funds > Joining in a group of about 1,000 costs less than 1 virtual byte per member > The catch: it needs Bitcoin opcodes that are proposed but not yet activated

Announcing LayerTree: a new tree-based scaling solution for Bitcoin that permits O(1), independent of the number of users in the system: xitter.cf/lightning/status/21108… A single UTXO can hold the balance of millions of users as an off-chain Merkle-sum tree. Transaction introspection techniques permit batched exit from the system in a single transaction w/o any pre-signing: layertree.tech
