How is Bitcoin scaling?
Our new article compares two different, but complementary, layer-2 solutions for Bitcoin: the Lightning Network and the Liquid Network.
Here's a brief summary of their differences👇🧵 1/ Transaction Size
Lightning is optimised for processing micro to small-sized transactions, whereas Liquid is optimised for processing medium to large-sized transactions.
There are no limits to transaction size on Liquid (technically 21 million BTC would be the limit!).

MEGATHREAD: Intro to the Liquid Network 🌊
Bitcoin is great but, for traders and exchanges, a bit slow.
Liquid, a Bitcoin sidechain, extends and optimizes Bitcoin for traders by enabling fast, confidential transactions.
Here's how that works and why you should use it. ⤵️
Like Bitcoin, Liquid records every transaction on a public blockchain. Liquid's blockchain is built with Elements, a sidechain project based on the Bitcoin Core codebase.
Use the Liquid block explorer to browse the sidechain's transaction history.
