Saudi Arabia is preparing to begin work on the first phase of its seventh Riyadh Metro line in 2026, as it accelerates investment in public transport to support rapid urban growth and flagship giga-projects.

Line 7 will run from the Diriyah Gate development in the north of the capital to the Qiddiya entertainment project in southwest Riyadh, Saudi minister of media Salman Al Dossary said this week. 

The expansion will build on Riyadh Metro’s position as the world’s largest fully driverless transit system. The metro has carried around 120 million passengers since its 2025 launch, with an on-time performance rate of 99.8 percent, according to Al Dossary.

About 18 percent of Riyadh’s residents – approximately 1.5 million people – already live within a 15-minute walk of a metro station, a study by property consultancy Knight Frank said. 

That compares with 13 percent in Dubai, despite the UAE city operating a metro system for more than 15 years.

Residences in Riyadh now cost around SAR19 ($5) more per square metre for every 100 metres closer they are to a station, the report revealed. 

“The direct correlation between house prices and proximity to metro stations that we found is consistent with the effect seen in other major cities around the world, reinforcing the conclusion that metro accessibility is a key determinant of real estate value,” Harmen de Jong, Knight Frank Mena’s head of consulting, previously told AGBI.

  • ‘Metro premium’ pushes up Riyadh house prices

Line 7 is expected to extend approximately 65 kilometres and will play an important role in connecting several of Saudi Arabia’s most ambitious developments. 

In addition to linking Diriyah Gate and Qiddiya, the line is planned to connect King Salman Park, the New Murabba downtown development and the expanded King Salman International Airport.

Alstom, the French company that provides rolling stock and systems for four of the six operational metro lines, plans to add another 150 carriages to the 320 already in use.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
