arXiv:2610.20952v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Client diversity is often cited as the Lightning Network's defence against a bug in any one implementation, yet LND runs 84% of public nodes and holds 84% of public channel capacity, a share that has barely moved since 2023. We test what diversity buys with a natural experiment.
