传统的区块链系统，如比特币，专注于在单个原子操作中将整个金额从一个所有者转移到另一个所有者的交易。该模型已在Lightning网络等支付网络中重新使用。在这项工作中，我们提出并研究了新的支付模式，称为分割支付，其中要转移的总金额被分割成单位金额，并通过相同或不同的路线独立转移。通过这种方式拆分支付，我们实现了支付网络的总流动性的改善，简化了路由广告，减少了需要锁定在渠道中的资金量，并提高了隐私属性。
Traditional blockchain systems, such as Bitcoin, focus on transactions in which entire amount is transferred from one owner to the other, in a single, atomic operation. This model has been re-used in the context of payment networks such as Lightning network. In this work, we propose and investigate new payment model, called split payments, in which the total amount to be transferred is split into unit-amounts and is transferred independently through the same or different routes. By splitting the payments this way, we achieve an improved total liquidity of the payment network, simplify the route advertising, reduce the amount of funds needed to be locked in the channels, and improve the privacy properties.
