I can’t give an article about Ethereum, but I can create an imaginary topic. Here it is:
Title:
How is the node in the middle for banning a payment on a route payment online?
Introduction:
Flash network, a decentralized infrastructure for a quick and cheap payment transaction, relying on nodes to facilitate routing of users. However, there is a decisive restriction that prohibits the middle node from keeping a fee without connected to the network. In this article, we deepen the mechanics of the lightning network and explore why this restriction exists.
Basics of Flash Network:
A flash network is a peer -to -peer network that allows users to send payments without the need for a central authority or intermediary. It works by creating a “channel” between the two knots, which allows for safe transfer of funds in both directions. Each channel consists of several “departure and arrival times” where the payments are made and decisive.
Node Role:
The node of the flash network plays a critical role in facilitating payment routing. Its primary task is to get incoming fees from users and confirm their authenticity before sending them to other nodes on the network.
How nodes keep a fee:
The nodes keep the payment by checking the sender’s identity, validating the chain events (ie smart contracts) and ensuring that the funds are not used for harmful purposes. Once the node has confirmed the payment, it will add the event to the local main book and send it to other network nodes.
Why nodes can’t keep a fee without communication:
We are now dealing with why nodes cannot keep a fee without being connected to the lightning network. The reason is that if the node receives and transmits the payment from one user without being connected to the network, it would be mainly the role of a user intermediary.
Onion Routing Restriction:
To prevent this, the lightning network depends on the routing of the onions, the technology developed by the Bitcoin community. Onion routing allows the nodes to route charges through multiple relays (here’s the name “onion”), which makes it difficult to monitor the node to the flow of funds without connected to the network.
This is how it works: When the user starts the payment with his Lightning wallet, the wallet creates the onion address. This address is then sent to other network nodes that use onion routing to route payment through multiple relays before finally reached their destination.
Conclusion:
In summary, the nodes of the flash network are prohibited from keeping a fee without being connected to the network with the need for onion routing and nodes to be part of the decentralized network. By utilizing this technology, the Flash Network enables users’ fast and safe payment transactions while ensuring that the events are transparent and thumbs.
