#Liquid is a #Bitcoin side chain formed as L2

As #Lightning requires the deposit and blocking of #Bitcoin to generate a parity what is 1 btc = 1 l-btc

Its custody belongs to 15 exchanges and is founded precisely to give quick liquidity for trading and generation of financial derivatives, as well as #Tether as well as stocks and bonds of EL Salvador.

Its Blockchain generates 1-minute blocks. You can have a #Liquid node in your home as well.

Here's a good tutorial... Big hug friend 🫂

So is the value the same wether liquid or not. And can you move between the 2 networks. I'm going to watch this video when I have data. It's very interesting.

Is lightning and liquid connected ?

Not directly, they are different L2 but yes in some exhanges as Boltz, Sideshift or Bitfinex you can swap easily and No KYC.

Is the value the same on both networks. And are both networks meant to mimic each other for bitcoin in circulation

The value is the same in BTC and L BTC. You can check how many LBTC are in the network in mempool

L BTC aren't mined. Just "peged-in"

So pegged to the price of Btc
