When Bitcoin's Lightning network comes online fully, any community not preparing scalable off-chain solutions is going to get left in the payments dust.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Lightning Alternatives<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the popularity of the Lightning Network, not all blockchain projects are using the tech in the same way as Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22732\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22732\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-22732\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/raiden-network-scaling-facebook-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"Ethereum\u2019s Raiden Network: An Off-Chain Solution to Scalable Payments\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/raiden-network-scaling-facebook-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/raiden-network-scaling-facebook-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/raiden-network-scaling-facebook-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/raiden-network-scaling-facebook.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22732\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Related Story:\u00a0<a title=\"Ethereum\u2019s Raiden Network: An Off-Chain Solution to Scalable Payments\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/ethereums-raiden-network-off-chain-solution-scalable-payments\/\">Ethereum\u2019s Raiden Network: An Off-Chain Solution to Scalable Payments<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For example,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\">Ethereum<\/a>\u00a0developers\u00a0are creating an off-chain solution named Raiden, while <a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/neo\">NEO<\/a> has its version named Trinity.<\/p>\n<p>Although these are separate projects, their intention is the same: to create a top-level network that allows transactions to be made faster and cheaper.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Lightning and other off-chain solutions becoming the answer for improving network speeds and efficiency, there are still some projects who believe that scaling blockchains at the base layer is possible and desirable.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the project Grin uses cryptography to create a blockchain that uses old, redundant data as the blockchain grows in size, so that it requires less space in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>On the other extreme is <a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/iota\">IOTA<\/a> who claims to have developed a &#8220;blockchain-less blockchain,&#8221; which would allow the project to scale without top-level or off-chain solutions.
