### Lithium
Lithium will be Hydranet's off-chain state technology for all chains except Bitcoin.

Different EVM State channel solutions, like Connext’s Vector, the Raiden Network, and Plasma, all have different benefits, but also various shortcomings.

For instance, the Connext Vector protocol doesn’t allow multiple routing nodes, which is a necessity for a future multi-hub architecture in the Hydranet DEX Network. Hydranet’s Lithium protocol aims to overcome these issues and enable faster, multi-hop off-chain payments.

We have achieved the first round of fee optimization and are currently implementing the updated version into the wallet backend, aiming for early April 2024.

### Reporting issues

While the devs will participate actively in the discussions, if we do not respond for quite some time, feel free to ping **Thierry** as he will be responsible for the reportings

To report an issue we kindly ask you to follow a specific format to help us gather the necessary informations in the least amount of times. We have two different type of issues that can be reported

Every release we will publish a changelog informing you what bugs / features have been resolved in it.

#### Bugs

For bugs we will ask you to fill the dedicated template below. When reporting a bug please verify if it has already been reported/acknowledged.

We will provide you a list of the current known/reported issues so if you happens to have the same problem, only inform us referecing the issue number, ie: *#132* and any other differents details that you may find useful.

When reporting a bug, alongside of filling the template acordingly, we would kindly ask you to provide us the logs present in the console at the moment of the error(s) alongside of the time + timezone it happened.

**Where are the logs located**
Logs aren't stored within your machine this time since it's an online application. To find the logs you must open *the developer console (see #reset my cache section to know ho to open it)*

Two type of logs can be found:
- debug (the blue rectangle)
- information that we may provide to help us debug/gather more informations
- errors
- raw errors outputed usually by the backend

We kindly ask you to provide each time the logs of the both types.

As in the core dex, sometimes logging can be overwhelmed with a lot of noise, so please if you are able to identify what cause this error we kindly ask you to open the console first and click on the :no_entry_sign: sign to clear the console and then execute the action.


#### Features requests / enhancements

Feel free to request them, but we can't guarantee to give a suite of all features requested, they will be discussed internally.
