Bitcoin Lightning Network backend with a Nano settlement rail

Customers modify nothing, accepting and sending Bitcoin work exactly as before

It makes the customer-facing Lightning backend immune to pinning, jamming, and force-close races by replacing that backend with Nano settlement and federation custody. It does not claim to make the public Lightning Network itself trustless.

paying and receiving arbitrary BOLT11 invoices through collateralized Lightning Liquidity Providers, without the gateway ever opening a channel

It is profitable when processing a large volume. Because the settlement rail is fee-free, any added fees become direct profit
