In this article we look at the current state of the Lightning Network, a Bitcoin layer-2 network that aims to offer cheap and fast micropayments.
While this layer-2 is growing organically, albeit at a slow pace, we are beginning to see some major challenges that need to be addressed in order for mass adoption to be achieved.
Amidst obstacles and opportunities, this is where the game is being played to decide the near future of the Lightning Network.
Below we delve deeper into the discussion.
