⚡DailyZap: The Rise of Lightning Service Providers
Synonym published an interesting blog post on the subject of Lightning Service Providers (LSPs). The article goes into why LSPs are useful (especially providing liquidity to users, although LSPs will increasingly provide more and more services in the future, such as the handling of asynchronous payments, as Roy explained in our newsletter). It also expands into a comprehensive lists of the current existing LSPs providers and tools, their monetization models (does the LSP charges a one-time fee? a per transaction rate? does it lease channels?) ; as well as the future of LSPs, with their increased integration into merchants Point of Sales software and users wallets. Definitely worth a read!

⚡DailyZap: Open Music
The Wavlake team shared some very interesting thoughts around what open music can enable -- and enables already. Indeed, as you may already know, all the tracks listed on Wavlake are published their by their author, who agree to let anyone access and use this content, for free. The artist's compensation is sought in the Value4Value model: listeners can voluntarily decide to send some sats to the creator.
But there's more: if a podcaster uses a track in an episode, they can set some field in the podcast's RSS feed so that, during the time the song is aired, sats streamed by podcast players (using the Podcasting2.0 Value4Value paradigm) are directly sent to the original creator of the music. This opens up a whole new realm of cooperation between creators of all kinds, where every digital content can be reused freely, and where everyone can still get their fair share. Wanna know what's even crazier? We don't even need NFTs for this! I thought they were the cornerstone of the #web3 creator economy!

⚡️ DailyZap: Keeping The Specification Tidy
There's an ongoing cleaning work initiated by Rusty Russel on the Bolts repository, which is akin to the Lightning Network's specification. This cleanup notably consists in the "removal" of some features that used to be optional, but are now so widely implemented that they don't need to be explicitly advertised by nodes anymore.
This is the case, for example, for the gossip_queries feature, which allows node to specify to their peer what kind of gossip data they're interested in. As pretty much all the nodes on the network now implement this feature by default, it doesn't make much sense anymore to discuss with a peer whether they support this feature or not when connecting to them.

⚡️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!

⚡️DailyZap: Just in case you missed it
''Payment Hash Does Not Commit To Payment''
The Lightning-dev mailing list got a quick heads@npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg up from reminding everyone that the "payment_hash" of a Lightning invoice doesn't actually commit to the payment itself. Rather, it sets the condition under which the payment can be claimed: the revealing of a preimage which hash is equal to the payment_hash (e.g. hash(preimage) = payment_hash).
The LNBits team discovered an exploit in the LNBits codebase that could be used to create sats out of thin air, and stems directly from this misconception. A payment's "payment_hash" is not a unique identifier, and one should always perform additional checks (for example on amounts) when trying to correlate two payments.

⚡️ DailyZap: Banco Santander Talks Lightning
Santander, Spain's largest bank, published a blog post about Lightning, describing how it helps enhance Bitcoin scalability by enabling users to perform cheap transactions with instant settlement. Funnily enough, while the beginning of the piece deals with "the Lightning Network", the tone switches in the end and addresses liquidity issues in Lightning Networks. I don't know if it's just regular vagueness, accounting for 💩coins Lightning networks (such as Litecoin or Decred), or testimony that whoever wrote this piece understands that there is no such thing as the Lightning Network.
Indeed, as John Carvalho highlighted back in 2019, there is no global consensus on Lightning, but merely a common protocol which implementations are convergent enough to enable interoperability. But various implementations are free to prioritize some features over others, even developing things they are the only one to support. That's completely allowed and expected by the Lightning protocol, which is why nodes are able to set and advertize per-channel and or per-node features. For now the set of features is quite convergent, but we're already seeing differences in feature prioritization across implementations, and I expect this to be even more the case in the future. And that's ok: there can totally be different subsets of "the" Lightning Network, tailored for different use cases or to maximize different outcomes. Two subsets may or may not be able to communicate through nodes that are compatible with both flavors of the protocol -- but I expect they will.
A bit more concerning is the perspective described by Odell back in March that the real split between Lightning subnetworks might be the one separating KYC-abiding nodes and channels from the rest. That's a daunting vision, presumably the one that banks such as Santander will need to embrace if they're to jump on the Lightning bandwagon. So having a bank write about the greatness of the Lightning Network(s) is cool, but cheer with caution my friends.

It's a limit order that can be triggered when the Futures prices:
👎 goes down to a given price (the limit price) for Long orders
👍 goes up to a given price (the limit price) for Short orders
Ex1: setting a long limit order if #Bitcoin    goes down to $25k
Ex2: setting a short limit order if #Bitcoin    goes up to $40k

This attack doesn't steal funds per se, but degrades the expected "quality of service" (in terms of quick confirmation, for example), and can indirectly result in loss of funds in the case of time-sensitive protocols. Definitely something to keep in mind!

where the last party to sign can spend using a very big script path instead of the agreed upon key path, thus inflating the whole transaction's size and diminishing the overall feerate, as the absolute fee (in sats) was already committed to.

This also made me think of an active discussion in the Bitcoin-Dev mailing list regarding an attack vector on multiparty protocols (such as Lightning or coinjoins, and even more opening Lightning channels in coinjoins) using Taproot inputs,
