The Lightning Network (LN) is an overlay network that scales bitcoin as a 2nd layer solution. It facilitates trustless instant and privacy preserving payments with negligible fees by keeping transactions off-chain and leveraging the security of the underlying blockchain as an arbitration layer.
The Lightning Network Daemon (lnd) – is a complete implementation of a Lightning Network node.
Electra Protocol is compatible to Lightning Network and plans to enable Lightning Network Daemon support in the long term.
