The report aims to provide an overview of Lightning\u2019s technology and ecosystem for a non-technical audience.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>WHAT\u2019S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE LIGHTNING NETWORK?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin was brought into this world over a decade ago to enable peer-to-peer payments without the need for a trusted third party. In order to maintain this censorship resistance, Bitcoin limits its throughput to 1M vBytes per block, every 10 minutes, keeping it easy for anyone to run their own node.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoinvn.io\/bitcoinvn-otc-desk-enabling-lightning-otc-transactions-up-to-20k-usd\/\">Lightning Network<\/a> is Layer 2 technology built atop the Bitcoin blockchain, enabling faster and cheaper payments, massively improved scalability and better privacy without compromises to censorship resistance and decentralization. In this article, we relegate the technological specifics for another day, instead focusing on Lightning\u2019s censorship resistance and scalability characteristics.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7891\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7891\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7891\" src=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoinvn.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-1.jpg\" alt=\"Bitcoin scales by building layers on top of the base chain\" width=\"700\" height=\"703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-1-696x699.jpg 696w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-1-418x420.jpg 418w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7891\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bitcoin scales by building layers on top of the base chain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"decentralized-and-censorship-resistant\"><strong>DECENTRALIZED AND CENSORSHIP RESISTANT<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Just like Bitcoin, Lightning users can run their own nodes and manage their own payment channels. This is in stark contrast to the vast majority of emerging Layer 2 technologies in the broader crypto ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>For example, rollups on Ethereum exist on-chain as a single on-chain smart contract that stores the state of all of its users \u2014 as opposed to thousands of distinct payment channels in Lightning\u2019s case. For Ethereum, an operator node is in charge of managing and updating this state, therefore introducing a vector for censorship or exploitation. Even if Ethereum and Solana were sufficiently decentralized and censorship-resistant networks, Layer 2 users can be affected if the smart contract or operator node is censored or exploited.<\/p>\n<p>In Lightning, each user creates payment channels to create a massive web for payments. Thus, even if a user is censored or exploited, the rest of the network remains functional. Although there is valid concern regarding the emergence of major hubs (popular nodes that attract many payment channels) and their vulnerability to censorship, even in such a case, users are free to create alternative payment channels to circumvent these nodes, if needed. This censorship-resistant dynamic, enabled by Lightning\u2019s decentralization, is unparalleled by most other Layer 2 technologies.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"massively-scalable\"><strong>MASSIVELY SCALABLE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Payments on Lightning usually traverse multiple payment channels to reach their destination. Typically, we see payments that are routed over no more than four or five hops (routing nodes). Assuming each hop takes one second, the payment is completed in four to five seconds. If the payment requires zero hops, i.e., if you share a payment channel with the destination, it will likely settle in a fraction of a second.<\/p>\n<p>Fees are typically around 0.1% of the payment amount, so a $1 payment is likely to cost 0.1 cents in fees. For zero-hop payments, there is no fee. The throughput of each node is limited, with Lightning Network Daemon (LND) benchmark results suggesting that a node can process 50 transactions per second (tps) out-of-the-box (<a href=\"https:\/\/bottlepay.com\/blog\/bitcoin-lightning-benchmarking-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">see details here<\/a>). However, as mentioned in the report, software optimizations should be able to bring this figure to 1,000 tps. Moreover, since the network can process payments in parallel, if 1,000 pairs of nodes across the network all function at 1,000 tps, the network as a whole does 1,000,000 tps.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7892\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7892\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7892\" src=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoinvn.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-2.jpg\" alt=\"Lightning payments beat other blockchains and the Visa network\" width=\"700\" height=\"702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-2.jpg 700w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-2-696x698.jpg 696w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-2-419x420.jpg 419w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7892\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lightning payments beat other blockchains and the Visa network<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"routing-nodes-at-your-service\"><strong>ROUTING NODES, AT YOUR SERVICE!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Just as miners are incentivized by transaction fees and newly minted coins in proof-of-work mining, the nodes that forward payments across Lightning are incentivized by routing fees. A competitive market for hashing provides security to the Bitcoin blockchain; a competitive market for payment routing results in cheaper and more reliable payments on Lightning.<\/p>\n<p>Since routing nodes earn a fee each time they forward a payment, they naturally aim to route as much value as possible. However, mispricing liquidity can lead to unbalanced channel capacity and routing failures \u2014 which benefit no one, including the routing nodes involved. In order to maximize their revenue, routing nodes attempt to balance their channels, improving payment success rates and settlement times across the network. More routing nodes also means more possible routes which can be used as alternatives, improving network reliability.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7893\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7893\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7893\" src=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoinvn.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-23.jpg\" alt=\"Routing nodes keep Lightning decentralized and censorship resistant.\" width=\"700\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-23.jpg 700w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-23-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-23-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-23-696x692.jpg 696w, https:\/\/bitcoinvn.io\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LIGHTNING-NETWORK-23-422x420.jpg 422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7893\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Routing nodes keep Lightning decentralized and censorship resistant.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"summary\"><strong>SUMMARY<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Lightning Network is highly decentralized and censorship resistant thanks to its<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span> reliance on the Bitcoin blockchain where users can freely create new payment channels. Furthermore, similarly to how a competitive market for mining results in security on Layer 1, routing nodes compete with each other to provide stable and competitively priced payment forwarding on Lightning. Bitcoin enables trustless payments as envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto over 10 years ago, and the Lightning Network is an attempt to vastly improve its scalability without compromising on those foundational values.<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a guest post by Yuya Ogawa.
