Potential Business Impact:

Makes online money transfers faster and cheaper.

Business Areas:
E-Signature Information Technology, Privacy and Security

We present a new type of bidirectional payment channel based on One-Time Signatures on state sequence numbers. This new construction is simpler than the Poon-Dryja construction, but provides a number of benefits such as $O(1)$ storage per channel, minimal information leakage, and compatibility with Lightning Network routing.
