Hedgehog: Protocol for Asynchronous Layer 2 Bitcoin Payments
Hedgehog is a protocol for two party payment channels. Hedgehog channels are similar to lightning channels but with a few comparative benefits such as offline receive capabilities.

Sounds really cool, interesting to see if it really can work as simply as it suggests. Sounds a bit like using a fedimint but with less trust??

For context nostr:npub1yxp7j36cfqws7yj0hkfu2mx25308u4zua6ud22zglxp98ayhh96s8c399s has been planning to build his own #Lightning protocol, different from LND, lightning-core, éclair, and Electrum
This (imo) is another step in that direction
it is a step, yes
This is why we need to let innovation happen for a while before we change Bitcoin. Great job nostr:npub1yxp7j36cfqws7yj0hkfu2mx25308u4zua6ud22zglxp98ayhh96s8c399s
Be very interested in learning more about this

“This is incredible! Super Testnet just invented a new type of payment channel with offline receive.
It makes use of connector outputs which is a concept introduced by Ark. There is no service provider however. Channels are peer-to-peer.
With 1% the complexity of Lightning.” - nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg
