Lightning Network Use Cases

Legacy finance relies on a patchwork of message-based rails like ACH and SWIFT, resulting in multi-day delays, high fees and chargebacks. This system, designed decades ago, hasn’t caught up with the instantaneous nature of the internet.

Bitcoin’s Replace-by-Fee (RBF) feature creates a major fraud risk for both online and in-person gambling payments, allowing players to reverse transactions after placing bets. The Lightning Network eliminates this issue by enabling instant, irreversible payments, ensuring secure and cost-effective transactions for casinos and betting platforms.
