A major breakthrough in Bitcoin scaling has been announced by researchers at MITs Digital Currency Initiative. The new protocol, dubbed LightningX, promises to significantly increase transaction throughput on the Lightning Network. Early tests show potential for processing over 1 million transactions per second.
If successful, this development could address one of Bitcoins key challenges and pave the way for broader adoption as a medium of exchange. https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/03/13/mit-researchers-announce-major-bitcoin-scaling-breakthrough/
