Lightning Network

The Lightning Network is a Layer-2 protocol built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. It was designed to solve Bitcoin's scalability limitations by processing transactions off-chain through payment channels between users. These transactions are near-instant and carry much lower fees compared to on-chain transactions. Only the opening and closing of a payment channel are recorded on the main blockchain.
