Episode notes
INSIGHT

Lightning Network's TVL

  • Total Value Locked (TVL) doesn't accurately measure the Lightning Network's success.
  • It's a payment system, not a value-locking protocol like DeFi.
INSIGHT

Private Channels

  • Some Lightning Network channels are private, so TVL underestimates its true size.
  • Public data shows smaller capacity than the actual network.
INSIGHT

Hidden Payment Volume

  • Lightning Network's payment volume is hard to track due to privacy.
  • Strike's volume isn't reflected in explorers, making actual usage larger than perceived.
