Zero-Conf Channels
Layer 2● Common
Lightning channels considered usable immediately after broadcast without waiting for confirmations. Requires trusting the channel opener not to double-spend the funding transaction. Common for LSP-to-user channels.
Technical Notes
Safe when: opener has reputation at stake, opener can't profit from double-spend. Dangerous for user-opened channels to untrusted peers. option_scid_alias prevents probing of unconfirmed funding outpoint.
