Lightning Network ranks first among Bitcoin expansion plans with nearly $200 million in TVL
On November 28th, The Block Pro posted that there have been various attempts to achieve Bitcoin scalability. The Lightning Network is the largest scalability solution for Bitcoin, with a TVL of nearly $200 million by 2023, mainly due to the rise in Bitcoin prices.
Other Bitcoin scalability solutions (such as DeFiChain, Rootstock, and Stacks) have lower TVL than the Lightning Network, possibly due to security trade-offs, as they only inherit part of Bitcoin's security.
In addition, Bitcoin Ordinals assigns unique identifiers to satoshis, making them NFTs, and uses SegWit and Taproot upgrades to mint homogenized BRC-20 tokens. These innovations from the SegWit and Taproot upgrades demonstrate Bitcoin's potential in areas such as Layer 2 in the future.
