What’s the Lightning Network?

The Lightning Network is a super-fast, low-cost way to transfer Bitcoin. Pig.gy integrates with the Lightning Network to make your transactions lightning-quick and seamless. This technology enables instant payments and significantly reduces transaction fees, making it perfect for everyday Bitcoin use.

But let's dive deeper into the details, so you fully understand why the Lightning Network is such an exciting innovation and how Pig.gy utilizes it to enhance your Bitcoin saving and spending experience.

Super-Fast Transactions

The Lightning Network is designed to solve one of Bitcoin's biggest challenges: transaction confirmation times. On the main Bitcoin chain, it can take several minutes or even hours to confirm a transaction, especially during periods of high network congestion. The Lightning Network bypasses this problem by allowing transactions to be conducted off the main chain, meaning transactions can be confirmed in just seconds.

Low Transaction Costs

In addition to speed, the Lightning Network is extremely cost-efficient. Transaction fees on the main Bitcoin chain can be high, particularly when the network is busy. The Lightning Network drastically reduces these fees, making it ideal for small and frequent transactions, such as buying a coffee or paying for a transit ticket.

These payment channels can stay open for as long as you like, meaning you can make countless transactions without worrying about transaction fees each time. When you decide to close the channel, all transactions are recorded on the main chain as a single transaction, ensuring the integrity and security of all your operations.
