Let’s talk about the Lightning Network:
Two parties without a direct channel can make payments through a route connected by other nodes. Hash Time-Locked Contracts (HTLCs) ensure that intermediate nodes cannot withhold the funds.
The Lightning Network’s core idea is to move large numbers of small, frequent payments off-chain. Only channel opening and closing happen on-chain, reducing the burden on the main chain and saving on fees.
