 - Safu Commitments, which was an LN-wide protocol change enabling wallets to retrieve their local channel balance stored in unilaterally-closed channels without requiring coordination with the counterparty.
 
 - Watchtower support, which allows a wallet to remain closed for a longer period of time by offloading the reposability to watch for channel breaches to a third party called a _watchtower_.
