Ilja von Hoessle just broke down Cardano Lightning in the latest dev office hour:

→ State channel architecture
→ Liquidity manager smart contract
→ Relay design
→ Pre-production deployment live

Full technical breakdown in the session video. If you're building or deploying capital on Cardano, this is the alpha you don't skip.
