Since the beginning of 2022, the capacity of the #Bitcoin Lightning Network (LN) micropayment network has grown by more than 15% — from 3316 BTC to 3915 #BTC. According to the 1ML service, there are 85,230 payment channels connected by 17,564 nodes in the second-level network. Earlier, Arcane Research analysts noted that the LN ecosystem is growing faster than its capacity. The latter indicator, according to their data, grew exponentially from April to September 2021 — during this period it increased by 700%. Analysts explained the rapid development of the ecosystem by the legalization of bitcoin in El Salvador. Since September 2021, companies operating in the country are required to accept payments from #Chivo digital wallets that are compatible with the #Lightning Network.
