Kraken and the Lightning network, hands in the hands for the revolution / Kraken y Lightning Network, manos en manos para la revolución

in #bitcoin3 years ago

In December 2020, kraken planned to allow customers to withdraw and deposit Bitcoins on the Lightning network in the first half of 2021, which would allow customers to move their Bitcoins instantly and with the lowest fees. “Finally, traders have an instant and inexpensive way to move bitcoin on and off the platform,” Kraken said in their official announcement. The Lightning Network is much more than that, though. Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken now supports Bitcoin's Lightning Network for instant, minimally-removed BTC deposits and withdrawals for all customers, the company said in a statement sent to Bitcoin Magazine. come from people who have fiat in their bank account, and they have to put it into bitcoin,” Pierre Rochard, bitcoin product manager at Kraken, told Bitcoin Magazine. “Kraken gives them a great way to do that, and then they can top up their Lightning mobile wallet and use it as a medium of exchange. This is clearly the next step in terms of Bitcoin evolution. The number of companies developing the Lightning protocol implementation software can be counted on the fingers of one hand and is as follows:

lnd which is developed by Lightning Labs.
C-lightning which is supported by Blockstream.
Éclair which is developed by the French start-up ACINQ.

                                           Benefits                       

Transaction fees: made outside the blockchain, transaction fees are reduced. Transaction fees would only finance the opening and closing of the payment channel.

Increased transaction speed: While verifying a transaction through Bitcoin takes ten minutes after 6 verifications, the Lightning Network can make a payment instantly and regardless of network transaction volume. This could initially compete with market giants such as VISA for example.

Improved scalability: The protocol can theoretically handle up to one million transactions per second, which is 20 times the theoretical capacity of VISA. This is a determining factor in the context of a mass adoption of cryptocurrencies.
Anonymity: Since the transactions are carried out in OFF chain, the exchanges that take place using these different channels are almost impossible to trace.

Once the payment channel is formed, both parties are free to proceed with any transaction promise within the limit of the number of bitcoins they have in their possession. This means that bitcoins are not taken directly from accounts.

The payment channel remains open for the desired time and can be closed when the two parties reach an agreement. We will not be able to recover all of the money, that is to say our deposit followed by transactions made only when the payment channel is closed. Thus the final balance of the parties will be credited according to the transactions previously carried out.

En diciembre de 2020, Kraken planeó permitir a los clientes retirar y depositar Bitcoins en la red Lightning en la primera mitad de 2021, lo que permitiría a los clientes mover sus Bitcoins al instante y con las tarifas más bajas. “Finalmente, los comerciantes tienen una forma instantánea y económica de mover bitcoin dentro y fuera de la plataforma”, dijo Kraken en su anuncio oficial. Sin embargo, Lightning Network es mucho más que eso. El intercambio de criptomonedas Kraken ahora es compatible con Lightning Network de Bitcoin para depósitos y retiros de BTC instantáneos y mínimamente eliminados para todos los clientes, dijo la compañía en un comunicado enviado a Bitcoin Magazine. provienen de personas que tienen fiat en su cuenta bancaria y tienen que ponerlo en bitcoin”, dijo Pierre Rochard, gerente de producto de bitcoin en Kraken, a Bitcoin Magazine. “Kraken les brinda una excelente manera de hacer eso, y luego pueden recargar su billetera móvil Lightning y usarla como medio de intercambio. Este es claramente el próximo paso en términos de evolución de Bitcoin. El número de empresas que desarrollan el software de implementación del protocolo Lightning se puede contar con los dedos de una mano y es el siguiente:

lnd desarrollado por Lightning Labs.
C-lightning que es compatible con Blockstream.
Éclair, desarrollado por la start-up francesa ACINQ.

                                           Beneficios

Comisiones por transacción: realizadas fuera de la cadena de bloques, se reducen las tarifas por transacción. Las tarifas de transacción solo financiarían la apertura y el cierre del canal de pago.

Mayor velocidad de transacción: mientras que verificar una transacción a través de Bitcoin lleva diez minutos después de 6 verificaciones, Lightning Network puede realizar un pago al instante e independientemente del volumen de transacciones de la red. Esto podría competir inicialmente con gigantes del mercado como VISA, por ejemplo.

Escalabilidad mejorada: el protocolo teóricamente puede manejar hasta un millón de transacciones por segundo, que es 20 veces la capacidad teórica de VISA. Este es un factor determinante en el contexto de una adopción masiva de criptomonedas.
Anonimato: dado que las transacciones se realizan en cadena OFF, los intercambios que se realizan a través de estos diferentes canales son casi imposibles de rastrear.

Una vez que se forma el canal de pago, ambas partes son libres de proceder con cualquier compromiso de transacción dentro del límite de la cantidad de bitcoins que tienen en su poder. Esto significa que los bitcoins no se toman directamente de las cuentas.

El canal de pago permanece abierto durante el tiempo deseado y se puede cerrar cuando las dos partes lleguen a un acuerdo. No podremos recuperar todo el dinero, es decir, nuestro depósito seguido de transacciones realizadas solo cuando el canal de pago esté cerrado. Así el saldo final de las partes se abonará de acuerdo a las transacciones realizadas anteriormente.
