Hash Time-Locked Contracts

Ideas

In connection with the Lightning network thread it would be nice to implement HTLC at the network level.

There is no significant barriers for HTLC and Lightning network.

Thanks, I know it.
So, every time the channel updates we will need to create two new contracts (broadcasted)?
Am I misunderstanding something?

Why not? Channel locks money publicly, what’s wrong?
