What Exactly is the Lightning Network?
The Lightning Network is a decentralized network that uses smart contract functionality to enable near-instant payments. The lightning network is a second layer protocol built on top of the Bitcoin network which means that although the lightning network is built separately, it can still interact with the Bitcoin blockchain. It allows transactions in the network to scale while keeping the security and decentralization of the Bitcoin network.
