How can lightning users secure themselves even further? Just like how hardware wallets and secure elements can help secure your cold storage coins, Validating Lightning Signer (VLS) is a project aiming to help improve the way lightning security works. In this conversation with project co-founder Ken Sedgwick, we chat:

• Why VLS is needed

• How VLS works

• Implementing part of the lightning state machine

• What rules are covered? 

• What lightning implementations are supported? 

• The impact of lightning protocol changes

• Interactions with watchtowers? 

• How you can get involved
