The Lightning Network is a decentralized system for instant, high-volume micropayments that removes the risk of delegating custody of funds to trusted third parties.

The Lightning Network is one of the first implementations of a multi-party Smart Contract (programmable money) using bitcoin’s built-in scripting. The Lightning Network is leading technological development in multiparty financial computations with bitcoin [1]. It’ll enable instant payments even for small transactions and will improve Bitcoin’s Scalability and hence will help in bitcoin adoption.
