Bitcoin Lightning Network aims to facilitate faster, cheaper transactions by operating as a layer on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. It seeks to address scalability issues that limit Bitcoin's use in everyday transactions. The network allows multiple transactions to occur off-chain, which are later settled on the main blockchain, reducing congestion and fees. Several companies already utilize the Lightning Network to enable microtransactions and instant payments. Proponents believe it can transform everyday payments by making them more efficient and accessible. Critics, however, cite concerns regarding security, decentralization, and usability that need further resolution.
