I have read the link you have provided. I don't really understand how those bitcoins layer 2 working. But it's an amazing thing that it can process transactions tens of times faster than what the Solana network can do. I used to think that Solana is the best and fastest network right now. But this news changed my view. But when was this applied? Is it BTC or something other than BTC?
the proposal plan WAS where you lock btc up because bitcoin only exists on the bitcoin blockchain and you cant take it off the blockchain or out of the network.. as thats the whole point of blockchain monetary policy and security
and instead you use the lock as a reference to then play 'pass the parcel' games around the sub network with IOU's of units called msats which are represented very weakly with a peg of supposed 1:1000. however they now have units even smaller because the lightning network has no fixed network wide rules of accountability to hold onto/stick to.. oh and due to lack of network wide cohesion/accountability/rule. when things go bad the lightning fans and devs will blame it on user error..
so just be careful. and dont lock your whole btc wealth up to use lightning. just play with coffee or pizza spend amounts
oh and be warned the weak peg thing.. others can crate msat balance and make promises to pay you with inbound balance.. thats not referenced to any locked btc.. so be very risk aware
