What to Know
Before Using Lightning BTC

1.What is the Lightning Network

The Lightning Network is a Layer 2 payment system on Bitcoin — transfer Sats instantly with very low fees, suitable for daily use. However, unlike transfers on the main network (On-chain), Lightning requires "channels" and nodes that manage liquidity.

When you use a wallet in our system, your Sats balance is held in an account managed by the system (similar to a custodial wallet service) — it is not entirely a private key that you hold yourself. However, we have designed it so you can verify your balance through the Transparency Explorer.
