Over the past 30 days, against the background of the digital gold rally, the indicator has increased by about 30%.
In physical terms, the number of bitcoins in the L2 network channels decreased by ~5% during this period - to 4,566 BTC. This is less than the maximum reached in April 2023 by ~ 17%.
The number of nodes in LN has remained relatively stable in recent months, fluctuating in the range of 16,000-18,000.
At the same time, the number of channels is steadily decreasing, the share of reused channels is steadily less than 10%.
In September 2023, Lightspark CEO and former head of Meta's blockchain division, David Marcus, said that LN could solve the resource-intensive process of sending money between countries and bring global payments out of the "fax era".
