PANews reported on January 4th that following the arrest of Venezuelan President Maduro, Vice President Rodriguez stated that Maduro is the only legitimate president of the country. Trump had previously claimed that Rodriguez would work with Washington to "make Venezuela great again." While the Venezuelan opposition expressed jubilation over Maduro's capture by US forces, Trump denied the possibility of an opposition takeover, calling opposition leaders "immature" and unprepared for power. This suggests he has decided to give Rodriguez and other Maduro supporters a chance to start afresh, rather than completely overthrow the current regime. Matthew Kronig, Vice President and Senior Director of the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security at the Atlantic Council, stated, "Trump is essentially using rewards and punishments to control the Vice President and his inner circle to achieve the results the United States desires. We'll see if this works."

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
