Technological progress

1. Real-time update of channel information; real-time update of channel information is implemented through delegation mechanism — when the channel information, mainly including channel balance and status, are updated in the database, the GUI client will be triggered to synchronize and display the latest channel information in a timely manner. This delegation mechanism will largely reduce information asymmetry and facilitate information flow.

2. Automatic identification of the network type; according to the current network of NEO_GUI (test network/main network), the Trinity state channel will automatically adapt to different database paths and obtain corresponding channel information.

3. Channel transaction signature verification; when one party receives the transaction signature data from his counterpart, he first verifies the validity of the signature, generates txdate according to the balance distribution between the two parties, and inspect his own txdata with contrast of that of his counterpart. This proving-based process will be conducted along the whole cycle of a channel in order to guarantee the authenticity of every signed transaction.
