Anchors Are Evil! Bitcoin Core Is Destroying Bitcoin!

January 7, 2025No Comments2 Mins Read

Bitcoin Magazine recently covered a controversial topic in the Bitcoin community regarding the implementation of ephemeral anchors in Lightning channels. This innovation was designed to simplify the process of unilateral fee closures, which had previously caused inefficiencies and capital wastage.

To provide some context, Lightning channels require both parties to sign transactions in advance, including a predetermined fee rate for unilateral closures. This posed a problem when fees fluctuated, leading to potential losses or delays in closing channels. Anchor outputs were introduced to address this issue, but they required additional capital and were not the most efficient solution.

Ephemeral anchors, on the other hand, build upon the v3 transaction relay and package relay protocols to create 0 value outputs that can be spent by anyone. These outputs are only relayed in the mempool when accompanied by a child transaction that sets the appropriate fee rate. This approach simplifies the process of fee bumping and eliminates the need for permanent anchor outputs, thus reducing bloat in the UTXO set.

Despite the clear benefits of ephemeral anchors, some members of the Bitcoin community have raised concerns, labeling them as spam or criticizing the removal of the dust limit. However, these arguments lack substance and fail to acknowledge the practical advantages of this innovation.

It is essential to differentiate between legitimate criticism and irrational tribalism in the Bitcoin space. While constructive feedback is valuable for the development of the protocol, baseless attacks only serve to hinder progress and disrupt the process of improving Bitcoin.

In conclusion, ephemeral anchors represent a significant advancement in Lightning channel technology and have the potential to benefit a wide range of second-layer protocols built on Bitcoin. Embracing innovation and rational discourse is crucial for the continued growth and success of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
