Layer 2 solutions are at the forefront of that discussion. They handle transactions off the main chain. This approach aims to alleviate congestion and reduce fees. However, even L2s face limitations that hinder their efficiency and scalability. EIP-4844 is presented as the next step in increasing L2 potential. It is also framed as a way to align Ethereum with its scaling roadmap. Key questions include what EIP-4844 is and how it helps scaling L2s. Other questions ask what new possibilities it unlocks and whether it can reduce transaction fees on L2s by over 90%. The topic is linked to proto-danksharding, danksharding, the Dencun upgrade, the Deneb upgrade, and the Dencun hard fork. Technical details and impact are part of the discussion. The main focus is Ethereum scaling through L2s and the role EIP-4844 may play. The over 90% fee-reduction claim is framed as a question. No specific dates, prices, or performance figures beyond that question are given.https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/HT9PHWloIiU5442024-03-11T15:48:04+00:00https://cryptovideos.net/video/lightning-network-what-is-it-why-should-i-care-what-can-i-do-with-it-enjoy-bitcoin-like-AYAreuNzx582026-10-06T00:17:28+00:00https://cryptovideos.net/video-thumbnails/AYAreuNzx58-640.webpLightning Network: a Layer 2 for fast, cheap BTC paymentsThe Lightning Network is a Layer 2 technology that uses BTC. It is designed for cheap and speedy payments, and it can improve privacy compared with base-layer bitcoin transactions. Using the Lightning Network feels a lot like using bitcoin in 2013. Lightning payments are discussed in terms of payments versus transactions. The network is fast and cheap. Msats are smaller than satoshis. It works through payment channels, peers and nodes. An example explains how a payment works, including routing. Privacy is better on the Lightning Network. A bar tab example is used. The history of the Lightning Network is covered, and Lightning is called an ongoing experiment. One topic is an annoying experience with a Lightning node. Another topic is the Lightning Beer Tap. For merchants, BTCPay Server is a great choice for people who want to accept micropayments for products and services. Testing out a Lightning transaction is mentioned. The Blockchain Commons Smart Custody Book is referenced, along with a coupon code 50percentLN for 50% off, and a 90% off coupon for patrons. The question of who the Lightning Network is for is also raised.https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/AYAreuNzx5816102024-03-14T18:16:25+00:00
