Coinbase Integrates Lightning Network, Enabling Faster and Cost-Effective Bitcoin Transactions

Coinbase 集成闪电网络，实现更快、更具成本效益的比特币交易

San Francisco, California - Coinbase, the leading cryptocurrency exchange in the United States by trading volume, has announced the integration of the Lightning Network protocol, marking a transformative step towards faster and more affordable bitcoin transactions for its users. This integration aligns Coinbase with competitors such as Bitfinex, Kraken, and Binance, who had previously implemented Lightning Network support.

加利福尼亚州旧金山 - 美国交易量领先的加密货币交易所 Coinbase 宣布整合闪电网络协议，标志着向用户提供更快、更实惠的比特币交易迈出了变革性的一步。这种集成使 Coinbase 与 Bitfinex、Kraken 和 Binance 等竞争对手保持一致，这些竞争对手之前已经实现了闪电网络支持。

The Lightning Network, introduced in 2017, operates as a Layer 2 protocol built atop the Bitcoin blockchain. It tackles scalability issues by establishing bidirectional payment channels, allowing near-instant and low-fee transactions off-chain, without immediate settlement on the base layer.

闪电网络于 2017 年推出，作为构建在比特币区块链之上的第 2 层协议运行。它通过建立双向支付通道来解决可扩展性问题，允许近乎即时和低费用的链下交易，而无需在基础层立即结算。

"We are thrilled to launch Lightning Network support on Coinbase," said Viktor Bunin, Protocol Specialist and Lightning Integration Lead at Coinbase. "As Bitcoin adoption continues to drive economic freedom globally, we are excited to offer a solution that enhances its utility and accessibility."

Coinbase 协议专家兼闪电集成负责人 Viktor Bunin 表示：“我们很高兴在 Coinbase 上推出闪电网络支持。” “随着比特币的采用继续推动全球经济自由，我们很高兴提供一种增强其实用性和可访问性的解决方案。”

Previously, bitcoin transfers on Coinbase were processed on-chain, resulting in transaction times ranging from 10 minutes to two hours and high fees during periods of network congestion. The Lightning Network addresses these challenges by reducing both time and cost.

此前，Coinbase 上的比特币转账是在链上处理的，导致交易时间从 10 分钟到两个小时不等，并且在网络拥堵期间费用很高。闪电网络通过减少时间和成本来解决这些挑战。

Fees on the Lightning Network comprise a flat rate base fee as low as one satoshi (the smallest unit of bitcoin, equivalent to less than $0.01) and a liquidity provider fee or fee rate as a percentage charged on the payment value. Coinbase applies a 0.1% processing fee for Lightning transactions on sends only, with transactions processed within seconds. Initially, users will be limited to withdrawing a maximum of $2,000, resulting in a maximum withdrawal fee of $2. This conservative measure aims to enhance user experience and ensure network stability.

闪电网络的费用包括低至一聪（比特币的最小单位，相当于不到 0.01 美元）的统一费率基本费用和流动性提供者费用或按支付价值的百分比收取的费用。 Coinbase 仅对发送的闪电交易收取 0.1% 的处理费，交易在几秒钟内处理完毕。最初，用户最多只能提取 2,000 美元，因此最高提取费用为 2 美元。这一保守措施旨在增强用户体验并保证网络稳定性。

"Our integration of the Lightning Network significantly reduces the cost of sending bitcoin globally," stated Coinbase. "This is 20 times lower than the average 2% charged on credit card transactions and a fraction of the $30 incurred for wire transfers."

Coinbase 表示：“我们对闪电网络的整合显着降低了全球发送比特币的成本。” “这比信用卡交易平均 2% 的收费低 20 倍，也只是电汇 30 美元费用的一小部分。”

Coinbase's partnership with Lightspark, a Lightning Network infrastructure firm led by CEO David Marcus, underscores its commitment to providing innovative solutions for internet payments. Marcus hailed the collaboration as a "pivotal milestone, enabling millions worldwide to access fast and affordable Bitcoin transactions."

Coinbase 与由首席执行官 David Marcus 领导的闪电网络基础设施公司 Lightspark 的合作，凸显了 Coinbase 致力于为互联网支付提供创新解决方案的承诺。马库斯称赞此次合作是“一个关键的里程碑，使全球数百万人能够获得快速且负担得起的比特币交易”。

While the Lightning Network integration initially targets specific regions, Coinbase plans to expand support based on user feedback and network liquidity. Although Lightning support for Coinbase Wallet and other services is not currently planned, the team remains open to future integration opportunities as Lightning adoption grows.

虽然闪电网络集成最初针对特定区域，但 Coinbase 计划根据用户反馈和网络流动性扩大支持范围。尽管目前尚未计划对 Coinbase 钱包和其他服务提供闪电网络支持，但随着闪电网络采用率的增长，该团队仍对未来的集成机会持开放态度。

Coinbase's decision to incorporate Lightning Network support underscores its dedication to enhancing economic freedom through Bitcoin adoption. With Lightning Network adoption on the rise, the collaboration between Coinbase and Lightspark signals a significant advancement in the scalability and accessibility of Bitcoin transactions globally.

Coinbase 决定纳入闪电网络支持，突显了其致力于通过比特币采用来增强经济自由的决心。随着闪电网络采用率的上升，Coinbase 和 Lightspark 之间的合作标志着全球比特币交易的可扩展性和可访问性的显着进步。
