Historically, payment networks struggle with a bootstrapping problem -- any time a new asset is created, an entirely new payment network needs to be created to serve that specific asset's payment demand. Taproot Assets enables a payment-routing paradigm in which the LN is able to handle channels with any asset, but with the ability to find routes across different assets. Taproot Assets in LN channels can be transferred over the general Lightning Network, For example, in a situation in which all participants along a route have liquidity with each other, they can opt to charge fees in BTC or the transferred Taproot Assets.

Even if no Taproot Assets route exists, a BTC route can take its place as long as the first node is willing to forward the Taproot Assets value in satoshis. This can also allow the LN to facilitate exchange between bitcoin and Taproot Assets over the Lightning Network. This also allows the recipient of a payment to opt into receiving Taproot Assets instead of BTC. In the example below, Bob and Carol both act as edge nodes and swap payments L-USD and BTC.

As a general routing node, Yana can also forward pure BTC HTLCs.
