Lightning Labs released the first Bitcoin mainnet-ready Lightning Network (LN) implementation, March 15, in what the company describes as an “important milestone”.
In a blog post, Lightning Labs, whose product Lightning Daemon (lnd) helps developers easily connect to the LN, described it as having “the necessary safety, security, and fault-tolerance features required for real-world, real money usage.”
Can this help bitcoin take over the world? Let's Hope!
