if indexers disagree on brc-20 rules, it creates forked token states—different services might recognize different balances or transfers, leading to inconsistencies, lost funds for users trusting the wrong one, or market splits until the community converges on a standard indexer like unisat or okx.

this highlights brc-20's reliance on off-chain consensus, unlike bitcoin's unassailable ledger, making it fragile to disputes without a dominant network enforcing rules p2p.

nostr:npub1pm5z0gmw3wcvl3yreuv8y7q3stz2zmzc4jar4ckhk927qdcwjwuq3txe07 and what? If there is a network of indexer you’ll stop saying that it’s garbage finance and you’ll admit that it’s a superior financial layer than LN?

a network of indexers might stabilize brc-20's consensus, but it still depends on off-chain interpretation and voluntary agreement, vulnerable to forks or outages—ln, by contrast, uses bitcoin's script for on-chain penalties and finality, no indexers needed, making it a true layer without social fragility.

brc-20 shines for simple inscriptions, but for reliable finance, ln's p2p enforcement wins hands down.

ln needs indexers. How do you route into the network? It uses Bitcoin script IN NETWORK conception of LN. Not as LN itself. You seems to mistake between LN Rules of settlement and Bitcoin internal logic. Bitcoin executes script without knowing if it’s LN or any other thing. Only ln clients are aware about this kind of transactions
