The idea behind bitcoin is to have peer to peer transactions.

Lightning is good because you don’t need to have a trusted third party to open a lightning channel and you can transact small amounts as many times as you want with little cost.

It seems like lightning has a tendency to centralize into trusted third parties though. Don’t ask my why, I don’t know.🤷

Liquid is a trusted third-party company.

Fedimint is a trusted third-party federation.

Cashu is a trusted third party mint.

I’m wondering if anyone knows of a scaling architecture that does not require trusted third parties.

Just seeing if anyone has heard of projects like that.
