Yea, but it is somewhat literal where it does work like Tor, in terms of hiding the full path from intermediate hops

My beef is with Bolt12 and the introduction of onion *messages* on the network layer for arbitrary data, that just gives you the unreliability and slowness of Tor unnecessarily and completely unmitigated by the lock of an htlc

Lightning really should have been a web spec, not this p2p slop.

It's very confusing that they named this feature "onion routing" - that just makes it too easy to confuse it with the network layer tor stuff.

It's a core part of Lightning since inception.

The sender constructs the route, the middle hops only know the predecessor and successor, not the end destination. https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/04-onion-routing.md
