Lightning Network is a protocol that, through the creation of payment channels, allows transactions to be processed immediately and with low commissions, making possible the realization of micropayments .
These payment channels allow greater privacy for transactions, because they are created outside of the main Bitcoin block chain to connect the two parties involved in a transaction, for a limited time. At this time, only a certain amount can be traded and the amount is recorded in the book only once the payment channel is closed.
This protocol promises to improve the scalability of the Bitcoin network so that the cryptocurrency can become a effective payment method for users and not be seen as a simple deposit of value.
