MPFlow: Learning Budgeted Max-Flow Optimization on the Lightning Network with Deep Graph Reinforcement Learning
Harrison Rush, Vincent Davis, Simone Antonelli +3
We address liquidity placement in the Bitcoin Lightning Network (LN): given a fixed budget, which channels should a node open to maximize its routing capacity? We cast this as a bu…
Predicting Channel Closures in the Lightning Network with Machine Learning
Simone Antonelli, Vincent Davis, Harrison Rush +4
The Lightning Network (LN) is a second-layer protocol for Bitcoin designed to enable fast and cost-efficient off-chain transactions. Channels in the LN can be closed either by mutu…
Bayesian Binary Search
Vikash Singh, Matthew Khanzadeh, Vincent Davis +4
We present Bayesian Binary Search (BBS), a novel probabilistic variant of the classical binary search/bisection algorithm. BBS leverages machine learning/statistical techniques to…
Channel Balance Interpolation in the Lightning Network via Machine Learning
Vincent Davis, Emanuele Rossi, Vikash Singh
The Bitcoin Lightning Network is a Layer 2 payment protocol that addresses Bitcoin's scalability by facilitating quick and cost effective transactions through payment channels. Thi…
