When the transaction fees on the Bitcoin main chain soar to dozens of dollars, and users are forced to pay shocking fees for a like or reading a short article, the grand vision of Web3 encounters the cold reality barrier. As one of the foundational bases of Web3, the inherent low throughput and high latency of the Bitcoin network act like an invisible shackle, imprisoning the infinite micro-scenario potential that the Web3 world should unleash.
The Lightning Network is like a strong light breaking through obstacles, and its core principle is not obscure: users establish 'payment channels' in advance, completing high-frequency, low-value transaction interactions off-chain, only anchoring to the Bitcoin main chain when the channel opens and closes. This seemingly simple structure endows it with astonishing capabilities—instant confirmation, extremely low fees (almost negligible), and theoretically infinite scalability. It quietly builds a lightweight and swift value transmission network on top of Bitcoin.
