加利福尼亚州旧金山 - 领先的加密货币交易所 Coinbase 通过与 Lightspark 建立战略合作伙伴关系，在将比特币闪电网络集成到其平台方面迈出了重要一步。Lightspark 是由 PayPal 前总裁 David Marcus 领导的以企业为中心的闪电解决方案。

In a recent blog post, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announced that the integration of the Bitcoin layer-2 network is imminent. This integration will empower Coinbase's vast user base of over 108 million individuals to access potentially faster and more economical Bitcoin transactions.

在最近的一篇博客文章中，Coinbase 首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗 (Brian Armstrong) 宣布，比特币第 2 层网络的整合迫在眉睫。此次整合将使 Coinbase 超过 1.08 亿的庞大用户群能够访问更快、更经济的比特币交易。

"Lighting up all Coinbase touchpoints with Lightning" will shift a substantial portion of transaction activity to Bitcoin's second layer, effectively mitigating the recent surge in fees on Bitcoin's base layer, explained Lightspark in an earlier post.

Lightspark 在之前的一篇文章中解释道，“用闪电网络点亮所有 Coinbase 接触点”将把大部分交易活动转移到比特币的第二层，有效缓解近期比特币基础层费用的飙升。

Armstrong's confirmation of the Bitcoin Lightning integration, initially announced in September 2022, was met with anticipation within the cryptocurrency community. Coinbase did not provide further details on the implementation timeline at the time.

阿姆斯特朗最初于 2022 年 9 月宣布了对比特币闪电网络集成的确认，这一消息得到了加密货币社区的期待。 Coinbase 当时没有提供有关实施时间表的更多细节。

Lightspark, established in 2022, has dedicated significant efforts to simplifying the complexities associated with setting up and operating a Lightning node for efficient transaction processing.

According to River, a Bitcoin financial services firm, the success rate of Lightning payments stands at approximately 99.7%, based on data from over 308,000 Lightning transactions processed on their platform in October 2022.

比特币金融服务公司 River 表示，根据 2022 年 10 月在其平台上处理的超过 308,000 笔闪电交易的数据，闪电支付的成功率约为 99.7%。

The primary cause of payment failures stems from the unavailability of a payment route with sufficient liquidity to facilitate the transfer. However, River's data indicates that the average Lightning transaction size was around 44,700 satoshis, equivalent to approximately $11.84.

支付失败的主要原因是没有足够流动性的支付途径来促进转账。然而，River 的数据表明，闪电网络的平均交易规模约为 44,700 聪，相当于约 11.84 美元。

River's estimates suggest that between 279,000 and 1.1 million Lightning users were active during the same period.

River 的估计表明，同一时期有 279,000 至 110 万闪电用户活跃。

Lightning has emerged as a widely accepted payment method in various cities, including Lugano, Switzerland; El Zonte in El Salvador, known as "Bitcoin Beach"; and Utiva in Costa Rica, dubbed "Bitcoin Jungle."

闪电网络已成为许多城市广泛接受的支付方式，其中包括瑞士卢加诺；萨尔瓦多的El Zonte，被称为“比特币海滩”；哥斯达黎加的 Utiva，被称为“比特币丛林”。

Despite its growing adoption, some industry experts, like Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor, advocate for Bitcoin's retention as a store of value rather than a medium of exchange.

尽管比特币的采用率越来越高，但一些行业专家，比如比特币倡导者迈克尔·塞勒(Michael Saylor)，主张将比特币保留为价值储存手段，而不是交换媒介。

The integration of Bitcoin Lightning on Coinbase marks a significant development in the mainstream adoption of the second-layer network. By enabling faster and more cost-effective transactions, Coinbase is poised to enhance the accessibility and usability of Bitcoin for a broader audience.

比特币闪电网络在 Coinbase 上的集成标志着第二层网络主流采用的重大发展。通过实现更快、更具成本效益的交易，Coinbase 准备为更广泛的受众增强比特币的可访问性和可用性。
