Superscalar

MCP server for SuperScalar — Bitcoin Lightning channel factories that onboard N users in one shared UTXO. No soft fork required.

Tools

Tool	Description
superscalar_overview	Protocol overview — what SuperScalar is, how it works, key properties
superscalar_estimate_savings	Estimate on-chain UTXO and fee savings vs individual channel opens
superscalar_architecture	Deep dive into a specific component (invalidation tree, timeout tree, channels, MuSig2, watchtower, transport)
superscalar_resources	Links to source code, website, papers, and related projects

Install

npm install -g superscalar-mcp

Example Queries

Once connected, you can ask Claude things like:

• "What is SuperScalar and how does it scale Lightning?"
• "Estimate the savings if 50 users share a channel factory instead of opening individual channels"
• "Explain how the invalidation tree works in SuperScalar"
• "What resources exist for learning about channel factories?"

About SuperScalar

SuperScalar combines Decker-Wattenhofer invalidation trees, timeout-signature trees, and Poon-Dryja channels to create Lightning channel factories that work today — no consensus changes needed.
