The world’s biggest crypto exchange, Binance, has taken a significant step for the Bitcoin ecosystem, announcing the integration of the Lightning Network, a “layer 2” payment protocol layered on top of the Bitcoin network. Interestingly, this might result in increased adoption of the leading digital asset, which is currently more than 50% down from its all-time high in November 2021.
En un 17 de julio entrada en el blog, Binance confirmed that it has completed the integration of the Lightning Network, which “aims to enable faster, cheaper, and more scalable transactions by allowing users to create off-chain transaction channels.” It is crucial to note that the Lightning Network “alleviates congestion on the Bitcoin blockchain, allowing for a higher number of transactions per second.”
More importantly, on the Bitcoin Lightning Network, “transactions are near-instantaneous as they don’t require confirmation by miners,” said Binance in the announcement, while adding that “payments can be settled within seconds or even milliseconds.”
“Transactions on the Bitcoin Lightning Network typically have significantly lower fees compared to Bitcoin network transactions. This makes microtransactions economically viable,” said the crypto exchange.
As reported earlier by Bitnation, a mobile payments firm operated by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s Block Inc., Cash App, will allow its 40 million customers to accept payments in Bitcoin via the Lightning Network. The firm announced varias características gratuitas para su clientes a principios de este año, como la conversión de cheques de pago en Bitcoin y el redondeo de pagos con tarjeta de débito y crédito en BTC.
Es crucial tener en cuenta que Binance dijo recientemente que tenía planes para integrar Lightning Network y permitir a los usuarios retirar y depositar dinero en la plataforma de comercio de criptomonedas. Curiosamente, después de completar la integración, se espera que la adopción de Bitcoin Network aumente significativamente.
Más importante aún, el intercambio de cifrado líder despidió recientemente a 1,000 empleados después de contar anteriormente con una fuerza laboral de hasta 8,000. Las fuentes revelaron que el recorte de empleo fue global y afectó en gran medida a los del departamento de servicio al cliente.
