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.
Em 17 de julho postagem do 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 vários recursos gratuitos para seu clientes no início deste ano, como a conversão de contracheques em Bitcoin e arredondamento de pagamentos de cartão de crédito e débito em BTC.
É crucial observar que a Binance disse recentemente que tinha planos de integrar a Lightning Network e permitir que os usuários sacassem e depositassem dinheiro na plataforma de negociação de criptomoedas. Curiosamente, após a conclusão da integração, espera-se que a adoção da Rede Bitcoin aumente significativamente.
Mais importante, a principal exchange de criptomoedas demitiu recentemente 1.000 funcionários, depois de ostentar uma força de trabalho de até 8.000. Fontes revelaram que o corte de empregos foi global e afetou fortemente o departamento de atendimento ao cliente.
