arxiv.org/abs/2610.30350 Who Patches the Lightning Network? Evidence from Release Lines in Gossip, 2023-2026
A study of Lightning Network gossip data infers node release lines and finds operators patch on release and platform schedules rather than in response to security disclosures. Half of LND nodes upgrade within 88 days, and 71% of exposed LND nodes still ran an affected release two months after an August 2026 disclosure.
