  The Lightning Network is a layer 2 scaling solution for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In the context of the Cash App, it allows users to send and receive Bitcoin transactions instantly and with lower fees. It works by creating a network of payment channels between users, where transactions can be conducted off-chain. These transactions are only settled on the Bitcoin blockchain when necessary, reducing congestion and increasing scalability. This technology benefits users by providing faster and cheaper transactions, making Bitcoin more practical for everyday use.
