I’m learning— but something about this part in your blog really feels good to me: “However, Voltage is NOT the actual payment recipient, nor do they have custody of the funds. The secret (preimage) needed to unlock the funds is only known to the user. Consequently, Voltage cannot claim the funds upon receiving the payment. To successfully process the payment, Voltage has to pay the user's invoice, known only by Voltage. Both invoices lock to the same preimage. Only after the user claims their funds can Voltage redeem the payment. This process mirrors how Lightning onion routing works today, where each router in the path can't claim the funds routed to them unless their payment has been redeemed by the next node in line.” Thanks!
