什麼是閃電網絡？

閃電網絡是BTC的第二層，可以更有效，負擔得起區塊鏈的容量並管理交易

Lightning Network is a Bitcoin blockchain layer-2 solution. Blockchain scalability is mostly dependent on layer-2 solutions. Since Lightning Network is related to Bitcoin (BTC) and can add utility value to the chain, it is one of the most important layer-2 solutions.

閃電網絡是比特幣區塊鏈2層解決方案。區塊鏈可伸縮性主要取決於2層解決方案。由於閃電網絡與比特幣（BTC）有關，並且可以為鏈條增加效用值，因此它是最重要的第2層解決方案之一。

What is the Lightning Network?The Lightning Network, a second layer for BTC, scales the blockchain’s capacity and manages transactions more effectively and affordably by utilizing micropayment channels. It is a technology solution that introduces off-chain transactions to address issues with BTC. A transaction mechanism that allows both parties to send and receive money is called its channel.

什麼是閃電網絡？BTC的第二層閃電網絡可以通過使用微付款通道來更有效，更有效地管理區塊鏈的容量，並更有效地管理交易。這是一種技術解決方案，它引入了鏈交易，以解決BTC問題。允許雙方發送和接收資金的交易機制稱為其渠道。

There is no official Lightning Network token as the platform uses BTC as its native currency.

由於平台使用BTC作為其原始貨幣，因此沒有官方的閃電網絡令牌。

Is Lightning Network free?

閃電網絡免費嗎？

No. Users incur fees for initiating a channel with a routing node in addition to the usual on-chain transaction. The routing node operator provides the Lightning channel to the main network for a price. The operator decides on the base fee and the rate, which make up fees.

否。除了通常的鏈交易外，用戶還會引起帶有路由節點的頻道的費用。路由節點操作員以價格為主網絡提供了閃電通道。操作員決定基本費用和費用，這些費用彌補了費用。

What does the Lightning Network do?

閃電網絡做什麼？

Initially, BTC was designed to be a decentralized payment system that users could access from anywhere and be anonymous. It gained so much traction that the blockchain was unable to manage the volume of transactions.

最初，BTC被設計為一個分散的支付系統，用戶可以從任何地方訪問並匿名。它獲得了太多的吸引力，以至於區塊鏈無法管理交易量。

The Lightning Network has been in development since its initial proposal by Joseph Poon and Thaddeus Dryja in 2016. BTC’s poor transaction time, throughput, and expenses were the issues that the Lightning Network was designed to address.

自2016年約瑟夫·波恩（Joseph Poon）和薩德德斯·德萊賈（Thaddeus Dryja）的最初提案以來，閃電網絡一直在開發中。BTC的交易時間，吞吐量和費用較差，是閃電網絡旨在解決的問題。

Developers built BTC layers to combat sluggish transaction speeds and excessive energy use. The core blockchain is the initial stratum. The secondary layer, which is “on top of” the primary one, adds functionality to the one beneath it. Other types of off-chain transactions involving cryptocurrency exchanges can also be handled via the Lightning Network.

開發人員建立了BTC層，以打擊緩慢的交易速度和過度使用能源。核心區塊鍊是初始層。輔助層是“在”主要的層上，它在其下方的一個層添加了功能。還可以通過閃電網絡處理其他類型的涉及加密貨幣交換的離子交易。

How do payments work on the Lightning Network?

付款如何在閃電網絡上工作？

Quick micropayments are made possible by the Lightning Network. Compared to the Lightning Network, BTC has a minimum transaction output that is more than 100 times larger. Achieving this use case is crucial for the chain’s usability since fast micropayments are the way of the future for Web3 applications like gaming.

閃電網絡使快速微付款成為可能。與閃電網絡相比，BTC的最低交易輸出大於100倍。實現此用例對於鏈條的可用性至關重要，因為快速微型付款是Web3應用程序（例如游戲）的未來方式。

The Lightning Network enables fast micropayments, but they are only feasible if they can be carried out at extremely low transaction costs. The blockchain frequently loses market share to its rivals as a result of inefficient transaction processing and Lightning Network makes sure this doesn’t happen.

閃電網絡可實現快速的微付款，但是只有在以極低的交易成本進行的情況下，它們才可行。由於效率低下的交易處理和閃電網絡，區塊鏈經常將市場份額失去其競爭對手，確保這不會發生。

X users can utilize the Lightning Network to send and accept Lightning payments in the form of BTC “tips.” Many of X’s 360 million monthly active users may transfer BTC payments to other Twitter accounts immediately and for free using Strike, a payments tool that works with the Lightning Network.

X用戶可以利用閃電網絡以BTC“提示”的形式發送和接受閃電付款。 X的36000萬個月活躍用戶中，許多人可以立即將BTC付款轉移到其他Twitter帳戶，並免費使用Strike（一種與Lightning Network一起使用的付款工具）。

What problems does Lightning Network aim to solve?

Lightning網絡的目的是什麼問題？

The Lightning Network aims to address the following problems:

閃電網絡旨在解決以下問題：

Users can communicate many transactions to one another without waiting for the slower main net to confirm individual exchanges by opening channels on the Lightning Network.

用戶可以通過在閃電網絡上打開頻道來確認單個交流，從而在無需等待較慢的主淨網絡的情況下將許多交易交流。

Parties may transfer money amongst themselves as necessary between a channel’s opening and closing. The transactions are sent to the main net for verification after the channel is closed.

當事方可以在渠道的開放和關閉之間必要時彼此轉移資金。頻道關閉後，交易將發送到主網以進行驗證。

Should I use Bitcoin or Lightning Network?

我應該使用比特幣或閃電網絡嗎？

BTC can be used as a mode of storage and doing transactions on-chain which can be slow and expensive. Alternatively, since there is no separate Lightning Network token, and users can use BTC for transacting BTC with low fees, faster speeds, and making online purchases that require instant settlements.

BTC可以用作存儲方式，並進行交易鏈，這可能是緩慢而昂貴的。另外，由於沒有單獨的閃電網絡令牌，並且用戶可以使用BTC進行低費用，更快的速度和進行需要即時和解的在線購買的BTC進行交易。

How do you pay on the Lightning Network?

您如何在閃電網絡上付款？

There isn’t any official Lightning Network app, however, several platforms give the opportunity for users to interact with the Lightning Network. Some of the most commonly used ‘unofficial’ Lightning Network apps include Muun and Wallet of Satoshi.

但是，沒有任何官方的Lightning Network應用程序，但是，幾個平台為用戶提供了與閃電網絡互動的機會。一些最常用的“非正式”閃電網絡應用程序包括木星和錢包。

Is Lightning Network anonymous?

閃電網絡是匿名的嗎？

It is possible to track transactions on the BTC blockchain from one wallet to another. Since only the opening and shutting of channels are reported to the chain when using the Lightning Network, the majority of micropayments will be practically impossible to track down.

可以跟踪從一個錢包到另一個錢包的BTC區塊鏈上的交易。由於在使用閃電網絡時，僅將通道的開口和關閉報告給鏈條，因此大多數微付款實際上是不可能追踪的。

What is the risk of using the Lightning Network?

使用閃電網絡的風險是什麼？

By having more open links with other companies, companies who invest in Lightning Network nodes may end up becoming similar hubs or centralized nodes in the network. Price volatility, fees, hacking, and fraud are further issues.

通過與其他公司建立更多的開放聯繫，投資閃電網絡節點的公司最終可能會成為網絡中類似的樞紐或集中節點。價格波動，費用，黑客和欺詐是進一步的問題。
