The Lightning Network is a second-layer system built on top of Bitcoin that makes transactions faster.


Instead of recording every payment on the Bitcoin blockchain, it creates off-chain payment channels where users can send and receive BTC instantly.
It is mainly used for small and fast payments like microtransactions, while still relying on Bitcoin’s main network for security and final settlement.
