Why should we run a full node?
My job here is to convince you to run a full node. Let’s start with what does a Bitcoin node do? I like to talk about this really in terms of information.
Could multichain lightning burn down the DeFi dark forest?
There’s no reason a Lightning node can’t run Lightning on Ethereum or whatever chain you want to run, and you have the full service, and each one has its own peer-to-peer network for communicating the protocol of the chain or of Lightning, so we can make use of all that to build some interesting DeFi architecture, and actually, it’s being done. So if you look at all of these chains, LiteCoin, Zcash, Raiden is on Ethereum, they all are building Lightning capability, but nobody’s put it all in one node.
