Stanje sprejetja Lightning Network

Lightning has seen major growth as Bitcoin’s medium of exchange scaling solution, but is still in its infancy stage as companies build on top of the protocol.

Posodobitev omrežja Lightning

"Omrežje Lightning omogoča vsakomur - posameznikom, malim in srednjim podjetjem, institucijam itd. - pošiljanje domačih ali mednarodnih plačil katere koli velikosti, z neomejeno pogostostjo, brez bančnih posrednikov, skoraj v trenutku in v bistvu brezplačno." - "O nemogočih stvareh pred zajtrkom,” NYDIG

For readers that are not familiar with Lightning, the Lightning Network is an open, Layer 2 payment protocol built on top of Bitcoin that utilizes channels between peers to transfer value without relaying every transaction to the entire network and settling on the Bitcoin blockchain.

The opening of channels between peers allows for the scaling of payments greater than the max throughput of the Bitcoin blockchain. This process is often analogized to the opening of a bar tab, where, in theory, an unlimited amount of transactions can be relayed between parties, before settling at the end of the night by closing your tab, which is then processed as one transaction on the users’ statement.

Na podoben način se pri uporabi Lightning v verigi blokov zabeleži samo odpiranje in zapiranje kanalov, medtem ko vozlišča v sistemu s kriptografsko gotovostjo preverjajo, ali je stanje lastništva znano in jasno, s posredovanjem nazaj na nespremenljivo Bitcoin UTXO set.

Nazadnje smo poročali o rasti Lightning Network v naši številki 17. marca, ki jih bralci lahko najdete tukaj. Since our last coverage, Bitcoin’s Layer 2 scaling solution has continued its rapid ascent, with increasing commercial and individual user adoption. Also, exciting new potential applications have arisen, including the release of Taro, a protocol that operates on the Lightning Network, that would bring new features and scalability to the network, including the ability to use stablecoins.

Medtem ko je izdaja Taro proizvajalca Lightning Labs (ki ga je omogočil Mehke vilice s koreninami) je še vedno predlog, ki zahteva več BIP-jev (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal) via soft forks to activate, it is exciting to see many previously unforeseen applications being built out across the open-source ecosystem that is Bitcoin.

Zmogljivost javnega kanala se približuje 4,000 BTC

Zmogljivost javnega kanala v omrežju Lightning Network se približuje 4,000 BTC, pri trenutni vrednosti v realnem času 3,996 BTC, ki je v zadnjih 5.41 dneh dosegel 30-odstotno rast.

It is worth highlighting that the recent growth of the Lighting Network has come during a time where on-chain bitcoin fees have been extremely low, which partially reduces the economic incentive to use the Layer 2 solution to save on costs. This makes growth in public channel capacity over the course of 2022 (as seen by the 90-day annualized growth rates) all the more impressive.

Mediana provizije za transakcije v verigi v zadnjih 30 dneh znaša približno 0.73 USD v primerjavi s provizijo Lightning v višini približno 1 satoshija ali 0.000301142 USD. Čeprav so povprečne provizije v verigi ob konicah dosegle skoraj 34 USD, odvisno od povpraševanja po blokovnem prostoru, so provizije za Lightning ostale skoraj nič zaradi številnih usmerjevalnih vozlišč brez provizij in ponudnikov likvidnosti, ki delujejo v omrežju. 

However, even with the current state of transaction fees on the Bitcoin base layer, the speed of settlement on Lightning is much faster, with near instantaneous settlement possible between peers acting as an incentive for entrepreneurs and developers alike to build on top of the technology.

State of Lightning Research

Arcane Research je bil ključnega pomena pri objavljanju poglobljenih poročil Lightning Network z "State of Lightning Network, 2. zvezek” objavljen kot njihov najnovejši aprila. V sodelovanju z več udeleženci v ekosistemu poročilo izpostavlja zasebne vnose podatkov in ocene celotnega obsega plačil, ki jim ni mogoče slediti v javnih podatkih. Rast javnih zmogljivosti, velikosti kanalov in število vozlišč nam lahko dajo nekaj vpogledov v trenutno sprejemanje Lightninga, vendar ne zagotavljajo toliko vpogleda v uporabo (tj. rast obsega plačil, dvigov in dejavnosti depozitov ali distribucije plačil).

Eden bolj zanimivih zaključkov, ki jih Arcane izpostavlja v poročilu, je neizogibna primerjava z Viso kot konkurenčnim plačilnim omrežjem,

»Uporaba omrežja Lightning hitro narašča. Vendar pa primerjava številk z drugimi plačilnimi omrežji, kot je Visa, kaže, da je treba še veliko premagati. Leta 2021 je Visa opravila več kot 1 bilijon dolarjev obsega plačil in skoraj 20 milijard transakcij na mesec.10 Za primerjavo, ocenjujemo, da je Lightning Network februarja 20 opravila približno 800,000 milijonov dolarjev obsega plačil in nekaj več kot 2022 transakcij. povečanega sprejemanja omrežja Lightning Network je videti zelo obetavno.«

Like any new developing technology, Lightning has seen extraordinary growth as Bitcoin’s dominant medium of exchange scaling solution (and will continue to do so), but it’s still in its infancy stage as new companies flock to the ecosystem to build out solutions and use cases on top of the protocol. These solutions span across wallets, liquidity, payment solutions, social media, gaming, banking, rewards and more. 

The $20 million estimate for payment volume in one month, $240 million annualized, pales in comparison to Bitcoin’s on-chain monthly volume of $963 billion in February 2022, $11.56 trillion annualized. This is more of a rough comparison for context on where Lightning payment volume stands today, as sending value across Lightning versus on-chain are used for entirely different purposes with a much wider adoption gap across the two.
