Specialising Course - Workshop Bitcoin Blockchain & Lightning Network | BLOCKCHAIN & CODING duration On demand
The mass adoption of cryptocurrencies is about daily use. Actions such as shopping, buying a ticket or selling your products should be part of that process. To make it feasible, the network must be able to support many transactions per second at low fees. Lightning Network is the solution which solves Bitcoin’s speed and cost issues, expanding its use cases. According to a report by Morgan Stanley and Arcane Research, the Lightning network has become a more efficient payment protocol than Visa.
Getting into the world of Lightning Network is not complex - you just need to know and download the right tools. Let’s find together what they are!
