I think you may be misunderstanding the comparison a bit.
Lightning is a Bitcoin Layer 2 built around channels, routing, liquidity, HTLCs, invoices, etc. It works, but it inherits a lot of complexity from Bitcoin’s architecture.
Sikka isn’t trying to be “Bitcoin but faster.”
It’s a different ledger design entirely:
• no blocks
• no channels
• no routing
• no invoice expiry
• transactions attach directly to a DAG
Honestly, just try it yourself.
Go to:

Create a wallet and send me your address.
I think you’ll be surprised how far transaction architectures have evolved beyond traditional blockchain models.
