Four documents, the same five questions.

No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.

QuestionPerun: Virtual Payment Hubs over Cryptocurrencies
What the text proposesLightning routes each payment through the intermediaries. Perun asks those intermediaries to set up a virtual channel and then step out of the individual payments. The paper gives the construction for one hub, on a chain that can run the contracts.
Who may writeStefan Dziembowski, Lisa Eckey, Sebastian Faust and Daniel Malinowski
What is settledTwo users each have a ledger channel with a hub.
Load-bearing assumptionThis is not the Lightning paper and it does not run on Bitcoin's script as written. The model assumes richer contracts.
What this library says afterwardsA hub that disappears still forces a dispute. Virtual does not mean unsupervised.
