According to AMBCrypto news on July 3, a recent study published by the IOP Physics Institute found that Bitcoin has an uneven distribution in the network. Studies have shown that there are many similar stars in the Lightning Network. At the same time, nodes (which can only create channels with local data) have become the mainstays of the Lightning Network to keep prices low. Studies have shown that the average Gini coefficient of Lightning Network node energy is 0.88, resulting in 10% of nodes holding 80% of Bitcoin at any given time. Thus, these results suggest that Lightning network architectures will become more inconsistent, making them more susceptible to attacks and failures.
