  bibo_abstract:
  - "Payment channels effectively move the transaction load off-chain thereby successfully
    addressing the inherent scalability problem most cryptocurrencies face. A major
    drawback of payment channels is the need to “top up” funds on-chain when a channel
    is depleted. Rebalancing was proposed to alleviate this issue, where parties with
    depleting channels move their funds along a cycle to replenish their channels
    off-chain. Protocols for rebalancing so far either introduce local solutions or
    compromise privacy.\r\nIn this work, we present an opt-in rebalancing protocol
    that is both private and globally optimal, meaning our protocol maximizes the
    total amount of rebalanced funds. We study rebalancing from the framework of linear
    programming. To obtain full privacy guarantees, we leverage multi-party computation
    in solving the linear program, which is executed by selected participants to maintain
    efficiency. Finally, we efficiently decompose the rebalancing solution into incentive-compatible
    cycles which conserve user balances when executed atomically.@eng"
