Channels can be created with inputs whose ordinals are all colored coins of the same type, for example colored coins honored for redemption by a stablecoin issuer. These channels can be used to conduct instant, low-fee USD-denominated off-chain payments, and would require only modest changes to existing Lightning Network nodes. On channel close, fees would have to be paid by child-pays-for-parent, to avoid paying stablecoin ordinals as fees.
