What is the Lightning Network?
The Lightning Network is a "second layer" built on top of Bitcoin that enables instant transactions with near-zero fees.
How does it work?
Imagine Bitcoin as a main highway – secure, but sometimes congested. The Lightning Network is like secondary roads that relieve traffic.
Advantages of Lightning
- Speed: Transactions in milliseconds
- Fees: Fractions of a cent
- Scalability: Millions of transactions per second
- Privacy: Greater privacy in transactions
