Protecting Privacy on the Lightning Network
In this episode, we dive deep into how the Lightning Network protects user privacy through various tools and techniques. From routing strategies to network anonymity, we break down the essentials of staying private while transacting on Lightning.
🔹 What is a Lightning Node? – A breakdown of how nodes operate and contribute to network security and privacy.
🔹 Trampoline Routing – How it obfuscates transaction paths, reducing the need for nodes to have full network visibility.
🔹 Tor Integration – The role of Tor in masking IP addresses, making Lightning nodes harder to track.
🔹 BOLT12 Offers – How these enhance privacy by reducing information leakage compared to traditional invoices.
🔹 Routing vs. Non-Routing Nodes – Differences in privacy considerations between the two types of nodes.
Understanding these privacy tools can help you make informed decisions about how you use the Lightning Network. Whether you're running a node or simply using Lightning payments, these techniques can enhance your financial anonymity.
