Lightning started with just a few Telegram chats...
Plebs opening random channels, experimenting, and seeing what worked. 🤔
Today, it’s transformed into a quickly maturing, scalable, instant payment network…
1. Liquidity now trades through a transparent public marketplace (Magma)
2. Payments power popular apps and exchanges—not just novelty projects
3. Thousands of new nodes join from every corner of the world
4. Real-time data makes it possible to route efficiently at scale
What began as a grassroots experiment is now global infrastructure.
Built by peers. Coordinated without a central authority.
Lightning wins the digital payments race because it was created from the bottom-up...
Advanced by the people who use it every day.
