LN Markets Integrates DLC Marketplace and Expands on Basic DLC Specification
LN Markets, a Lightning Network-powered bitcoin derivatives exchange, has recently announced its integration of a Discreet Log Contract (DLC) marketplace and its efforts to enhance the basic DLC specification.
What are Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs)?
Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs) are smart contracts that enable the execution of off-chain settlement in a trustless manner. They utilize the Bitcoin blockchain as an oracle to settle contracts based on real-world events, like the outcome of sports events, stock prices, or any other measurable data. DLCs offer a decentralized and efficient way to create and trade financial derivatives.
Integrating a DLC Marketplace
LN Markets has developed a DLC marketplace to facilitate the creation, trading, and settling of DLCs. This marketplace allows users to create their own DLCs or participate as counterparties in existing contracts.
The integration of a DLC marketplace on LN Markets makes it easier for traders to access a variety of financial derivatives. It provides a platform where users can leverage the power of DLCs to create custom contracts according to their specific needs.
Enhancing the Basic DLC Specification
In addition to integrating a DLC marketplace, LN Markets has been actively working on improving the basic DLC specification to address its limitations and enhance functionality. The team has implemented several iterations on top of the basic specification, aiming to provide users with a more robust and versatile trading experience.
By building upon the basic DLC specification, LN Markets expands the potential use cases of DLCs and makes them more accessible to a wider audience.
