A Bitcoin Core Developer has left the Lightning Network's development team due to concerns about security issues. The developer, Antoine Riard, expressed concerns about a new type of attack that targets payment channels in the Lightning Network. Riard believes that a sustainable fix is needed, possibly at the base-layer of the Bitcoin network. He acknowledges that this may require changes to the underlying Bitcoin network and the support of the entire community. Despite its popularity, the Lightning Network's adoption remains modest compared to Bitcoin's market capitalization. Riard plans to shift his focus towards Bitcoin core development but warns about the challenges faced by the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem. There is increasing interest in implementing the Lightning Network for faster Bitcoin transactions, with exchanges like Binance and Coinbase announcing plans to integrate the solution.
