⚡️DailyZap: VLS Beta Release
The Validating Lightning Signer (VLS) is finally released in Beta! The VLS software aims at improving Lightning nodes security by segregating the signing component (including the private keys) from the rest of the node, while still ensuring the signing module only signs legitimate requests. This constitutes a very necessary infrastructure tool for Lightning, which will help node operators and developers increase security without having to create their own systems [like Acinq did].
This beta release indicates that the VLS team is confident enough with their software for it to be tried out by developers on testnet, or with limited funds on mainnet. It also follows an independent security review conducted by Antoine Riard back in January. With this beta release, we're one step closer to having fully validating signers running in production, and a much more mature Lightning industry. Big news!
