The Bitcoin Lightning Network is a second-layer protocol built on the bitcoin blockchain, designed to enable fast and cheap transactions. It works by creating payment channels between users, allowing them to transact directly without going through the main blockchain. However, the Lightning Network does not have its own coin; it uses the same bitcoin as the main blockchain.
