Yeah and I don't think lightning does finalise. There's an element of trust and safety in numbers until finalisation on the blockchain.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It doesnt theorically finalise. But it is still spendable and unrevertable.

So at what point it reaches that?

It's basically a promisary note as far as I can tell, and am I right in thinking node operators have to put up some funds of their own as collateral to ensure what goes into a channel comes out? Or is that Thorswap?

Honestly, the more I learn about bitcoin the more I realise I don't know.

Like bitcoin, it is spendable after 3 blocks. Matic, 120 blocks. I wonder what it is for LN?
