About the Lightning Network

The Lightning Network is layer-two technology that solves the issue of mass scaling Bitcoin for global microtransactions. In addition to enabling millions of transactions per second, the Lightning Network dramatically reduces the fees currently charged to users, and serves up instantaneous settlement times.

The Lightning Network continues to experience explosive growth as follows:

• Since April 2021, node growth has increased 249%, from 10,394 to over 36,000 nodes now established.
• Bitcoin capacity increased from 1,060 BTC to 3,627 BTC, up 243% from January 2021 to the present.
• Payment channels are up 126%, rising from 38,000 to more than 86,000 established since January 2021.

Some well-known companies such as Lightning Labs, Twitter, and Jack Dorsey's Block (Cash App), have openly expressed their enthusiasm to incorporate the Lightning Network into their platforms.
