"if the 100 routers with the highest simulated traffic increased their transaction fees to close to on-chain fees, the majority of payment sources would have no less expensive option to route their payments."

"90% of the nodes only correspond to 10% of the cumulative betweenness of all nodes. Consequently, this indicates an extraordinarily high network centralization, where 90% of the shortest paths in the network lead through only a few highly centralized nodes"
