Lightning can scale to unlimited transactions per second. 😲
Here’s 4 reasons why this is possible—without changing Bitcoin’s base layer:
1. Peer-to-peer updates - Payments are private state changes within channels (not global broadcasts)
2. No mining delay - Transactions confirm instantly with digital signatures
3. Horizontal scaling - Throughput grows as new nodes and channels join the network
4. Decentralized coordination - Solutions like Amboss provide the data and visibility needed to optimize efficient payments across millions of future peers
With Lightning, the future truly is limitless. 🚀
