In less than three weeks, usage of the Lightning Network on Kraken has sent the exchange into the position of being the sixth largest node on the Lightning network in terms of transaction capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pierre_rochard\/status\/1516082830127808515\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tweet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Pierre Rochard, head of product at Kraken, since launching Lightning less than three weeks ago, Kraken\u2019s Lightning node has processed over 2,500 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BTC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in deposits and withdrawals through its channels. The Kraken node has also routed over 3,000 transactions, netting the exchange 1.6 million satoshis (sats) in rewards, at the moment of writing equivalent to about $657.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lightning payment volume has increased 400% in a year<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lightning Network has become increasingly popular of late, perhaps not the least since El Salvador accepted bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021. As <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bitcoin-lightning-payment-volume-increased-400-in-a-year-heres-why\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recently, Lightning payment volume has increased 400% in a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While regular Bitcoin transactions are limited by block times and can face high transaction fees, Lightning Network enables instant settlement and lower fees when users transfer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bitcoin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to or from each other. For Kraken, enabling Lightning transfers has opened a faster and cheaper way to top up Bitcoin and\/or Lightning accounts for its customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lightning Network can process millions of transactions per second thanks to its system of payment channels that are opened and closed on the Bitcoin blockchain. While open, these channels do not publish intermediate transactions to the blockchain, holding them \u201coff-chain\u201d to enable instant and efficient value transfer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kraken has 548 channels with 11 billion sats<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These off-chain channels remain secured by the Bitcoin blockchain\u2019s multisig and timelocking features. Per Kraken\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.kraken.com\/post\/13502\/kraken-now-supports-instant-lightning-network-btc-transactions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">announcement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the Lightning ecosystem is quickly evolving and there are numerous open-source and free Lightning wallet solutions. For example, BTCPay Server enables Lightning payments for merchants, greatly improving the bitcoin checkout flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At press time, Kraken holds 548 Lightning channels with a total capacity of around 11 billion sats whereas the biggest channel holds about 500 million sats.
