UNLEASH THE POWER OF ₿ITCOIN





DECENTRALIZED FINANCE

A blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that records transactions in a
secure and transparent manner. It consists of a network of nodes that
communicate with each other to validate transactions and maintain the integrity
of the ledger.

Each block in the blockchain contains a cryptographic hash of the previous
block, creating a chain of blocks that is tamper-evident and resistant to
modification. Once a block is added to the blockchain, it becomes part of a
permanent and immutable record of all transactions on the network.

The blockchain is secured by a consensus mechanism, which ensures that all nodes
on the network agree on the validity of transactions. This consensus mechanism
can vary depending on the blockchain, with some using proof-of-work,
proof-of-stake, or other algorithms to validate transactions.

Secure: Bitcoin uses advanced cryptography to secure transactions and protect
against fraud and hacking. This makes it much more secure than traditional
payment methods, which are often vulnerable to fraud and cyberattacks.

Limited Supply: Unlike traditional currencies that can be printed at will, the
supply of Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins. This makes it a scarce and
valuable asset that is not subject to inflation or other forms of monetary
manipulation.

Pseudonymous: While Bitcoin transactions are transparent, the identity of the
user behind each transaction is not always known. Bitcoin users are identified
only by their unique public addresses, which do not reveal their real-world
identities.

Borderless: Bitcoin can be used to make transactions across borders without the
need for traditional banking systems or intermediaries. This makes it a valuable
tool for individuals and businesses that need to make international payments
quickly and securely.




THE LIGHTNING NETWORK

The Bitcoin Lightning Network is a second-layer solution that allows for faster
and cheaper transactions on the Bitcoin network. It works by creating a network
of payment channels that allow users to make transactions off-chain, reducing
the load on the main blockchain.

To use the Lightning Network, users must first fund a payment channel by
depositing Bitcoin into a multi-signature address. Once the channel is open,
users can make instant and low-cost transactions with other users who also have
open payment channels on the Lightning Network.

These transactions are not recorded on the main blockchain, but are instead
settled off-chain between the parties involved. The final settlement of these
transactions is then recorded on the main blockchain once the payment channel is
closed.

The Lightning Network offers several benefits over traditional Bitcoin
transactions. First, it allows for faster and cheaper transactions, as
transactions on the Lightning Network can be processed almost instantly and with
lower fees. Additionally, it allows for micropayments, as users can make
transactions as small as a few satoshis (the smallest unit of Bitcoin) without
being burdened by high transaction fees.

Overall, the Lightning Network is an innovative solution that has the potential
to increase the scalability and usability of the Bitcoin network, making it a
more viable option for everyday transactions

The Lightning Network uses a concept called "hash time-locked contracts" (HTLCs)
to ensure the security of off-chain transactions. HTLCs are essentially
conditional contracts that require certain conditions to be met before a
transaction can be executed. This allows users to transact with each other
off-chain with the assurance that they will receive their funds as long as the
conditions of the HTLC are met.




Proof Of Work

Proof of work (PoW) is a consensus algorithm used by some blockchain networks,
including Bitcoin, to verify transactions and maintain the integrity of the
network. In a PoW system, miners compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles
and the first miner to solve the puzzle is rewarded with a block reward of
newly-created cryptocurrency and transaction fees.

To participate in the mining process, miners use powerful computers to perform
millions of calculations per second, trying to find the correct solution to the
mathematical puzzle. The puzzle is designed to be difficult and time-consuming
to solve, but easy to verify once the solution is found.

Once a miner finds the correct solution, they broadcast it to the network for
other miners to verify. Other miners can quickly and easily verify that the
solution is correct by plugging it into the mathematical puzzle and confirming
that it produces the correct result.

If the solution is correct, the miner who found it is rewarded with the block
reward of newly-created cryptocurrency and transaction fees. The solved puzzle
is then added to the blockchain as a new block, containing a list of verified
transactions.

POW is considered to be a secure and effective consensus algorithm, as it makes
it extremely difficult for any one participant to manipulate the network. To do
so, an attacker would need to control a majority of the computing power on the
network, also known as a 51% attack, which is highly unlikely and prohibitively
expensive in most cases.
