# LightningExchanges

## Let's keep track of the exchanges that support Lightning Network



**Lightning Network (LN) is a structure of payment channels open between private individuals and/or companies and represents the scaling solution for Bitcoin; that's why we often called it also the Bitcoin' Second Layer.**



With Lightning we can potentially make hundreds of thousands if not million transactions per second and so reach any part of the World (almost) instantaneously.



Lightning therefore constitutes a true P2P network, in full compliance with the abstract of the Bitcoin whitepaper created by Satoshi Nakamoto, while the Base (Settlement) Layer, with its blockchain, is more similar to a broadcast system, since the transaction transcription and so their irreversibility depends on the miners.



We will see many exchanges in the near future that will implement Lightning: it's fast, reliable, and the capacity is increasing thanks to the Wumbo channels.



My proposal is to collect the exchanges that already implemented Lightning Network or plan to do it in a simple table and keep it update.

So, let's do it!

I invite the representatives of the exchanges to signal their support to Lightning Network also in this repo.



**Legend:**



:zap: **Feel the power of Lightning!**


The exchange fully support Lightning deposits / withdrawals



:hourglass_flowing_sand: **In progress...**


The exchange is planning to support Lightning deposits / withdrawals



:yellow_circle: **Signaling support**


The exchange has LN nodes, provide channels and liquidity to the network, it might integrate LN features in its UI, but at the moment doesn't support deposits / withdrawals



:red_circle: **Non-active** 


The exchange doesn't support Lightning at the moment



:poop: **Admittedly against Lightning activation**


The exchange explicitly declared it will not support Lightning



:question: **Unknown information**
