Hi ariard and t-bast,

I would like to point out that spends from swap-in-potentiam addresses are 
safely 0-conf if Bob is the other signatory in the swap-in-potentiam address.

On the other hand swap-in-potentiam is arguably cheating, since sending to a 
swap-in-potentiam address is actually a channel open of a Spilman-like channel 
with `OP_CSV` instead of `OP_CLTV`.

This implicit protection against 0-conf double-spend risk that 
swap-in-potentiam provides, exists for all operations that move from onchain to 
Lightning, including: channel opens, onchain-to-offchain swap, splice-in.

I should also note that the UTXOs with swap-in-potentiam addressed do need to 
be confirmed.

For cases where the one doing splice-in is an LSP and the other side is a 
client of that LSP, also consider this proposal: 
https://github.com/BitcoinAndLightningLayerSpecs/lsp/pull/24

While it is designed for 0-conf channel funding, the actual protocol is generic 
enough that it can be used where there is double-spend risk from an LSP, that 
the client wants to protect against.
This can applied to splice-in and channel factory construction, as the protocol 
is simply a promise "I the LSP will do my best to get the transaction with this 
TXID confirmed before some future blockheight, so you the client can rest 
assured that even if it is unconfirmed now (0-conf) you can always rely on it 
being confirmed later."

Regards,
