Episode notes
How can lightning users secure themselves even further? Just like how hardware wallets and secure elements can help secure your cold storage coins, Validating Lightning Signer (VLS) is a project aiming to help improve the way lightning security works. In this conversation with project co-founder Ken Sedgwick, we chat:
- Why VLS is needed
- How VLS works
- Implementing part of the lightning state machine
- What rules are covered?
- What lightning implementations are supported?
- The impact of lightning protocol changes
- Interactions with watchtowers?
- How you can get involved
