📝 Original message:Presigned transactions have to use a N-of-N (2-2 for ln, more for pools)
multisignature which is computed over the network whereas in-script
commitments can be done 1 key that is a non-secret point (e.g., just the
generator I think works).
For large protocol trees (e.g., of size N) the savings can be substantial!
It also reduces the amount of state that needs to be stored since the
in-script sigs can be deterministic.
Rene has some nice work demonstrating that latency in generating state
transitions has a very substantial cost to the efficiency of routing, maybe
he can chime in further.
You can also do a "back-filling" where you get the best of both, by (after
you commit to the quick to generate in-script version) lazily backfilling
with an equivalent p2wpkh version. If you have a channel, when you are in
"burst mode", you can cancel the longer to generate p2wpkh version when
newer states come in. (data hazard/ bypass).
With respect to mining pools and size constraints,
https://rubin.io/bitcoin/2021/12/12/advent-15/ shows how paying into
batches of channels can be used to trustlessly compress payouts without
custodial relationship.
