Description
Danila Valko and Jorge Marx Gomez share Lightning Network maps from 2019 to 2023 in a 2025 data paper. The net is the top fast-pay layer on Bitcoin, yet clean map data were scarce for study in past years. Snaps rebuilt from shared chat logs form the set, checked step by step for sound form. Each snap froze the net at a set date.
Town-grade place tags from net names enrich each node in the set for map work. The set tracks how the net grew in time and space across the four years of logs. Funds and form checks guard the build at each stage. A checked base for web shape work is the aim of the share.
