Why Lightning for payments?

Bitcoin’s base layer prioritizes security and decentralization, which can make on-chain checkout slower. Lightning routes payments through channels to deliver fast confirmations.

Feature On-chain Bitcoin Lightning Network Recommended
Confirmation Minutes (block-based) Seconds (typical)
Fees Can vary with congestion Typically low for everyday payments
Best for Larger settlements Checkout, cross-border, micropayments
User experience Waiting for confirmations Near-instant payment experience
