The Bitcoin Lightning Network is a second-layer protocol designed to enhance Bitcoin’s scalability and transaction speed by enabling off-chain micropayments. One key feature is instant transactions, allowing near real-time transfers with minimal fees, unlike on-chain Bitcoin transactions. It uses payment channels, where users can conduct multiple transactions without recording each one on the blockchain, reducing congestion. Low fees make it ideal for small, frequent payments, as costs are significantly lower than traditional Bitcoin transfers. The network also supports cross-chain atomic swaps, facilitating trustless exchanges between different cryptocurrencies. Scalability is improved, as the Lightning Network can handle millions of transactions per second by bypassing blockchain bottlenecks. Additionally, it enhances privacy, since not all transactions are publicly recorded. However, it requires users to stay online for channel management, posing some liquidity and security challenges.
