๐ Graph Theory: Lightning Network Foundation
The Lightning Network is intrinsically a complex graph: nodes connected by edges (channels) forming a dynamic topology. DazIA applies modern graph theory via MCP to transform this complexity into actionable intelligence.
๐ Lightning Network as a Graph
Graph Components:
- โข Vertices (V): Lightning Network nodes
- โข Edges (E): Bidirectional payment channels
- โข Weights: Capacity, fees, latency
- โข Properties: Liquidity, reputation, uptime
Topological Characteristics:

"Understanding Lightning Network through graph theory reveals hidden patterns and enables optimizations impossible with traditional approaches. This is the key to DazIA intelligence."
