🧩 What is Lightning Network Technology?

Lightning Network is a Layer 2 protocol developed to enhance the capabilities of the Bitcoin network without compromising its security or decentralization.

It relies on creating off-chain payment channels between users, allowing them to execute an unlimited number of transactions at near-instant speed, with only the final result recorded on the main Bitcoin network.

🚀 Key Advantages:

• Ultra-Fast: Execute transactions in fractions of a second

• Very Low Cost: Negligible fees, ideal for micropayments

• Scalability: Supports thousands of transactions per second, making it suitable for mass use

• Security based on Bitcoin itself: No sacrifice of trust for speed

• Enhanced Privacy: Off-chain transactions are not displayed on the blockchain
