Mining, markets, & systems Freedom go up

Is there any way to tell how many transactions have occurred on LN? Trying to understand adoption metrics

I think the more people we can enable to be arbitrage traders/market makers, the faster the flywheel of adoption can spin. Very different from the current highly centralized financial system

Reading about https://cashu.space/ now.

So mints are LN endpoints like any LN node I presume. Once the BTC (over LN) has arrived at the mint, it is backing then a certain amount of cash tokens.

Payment to people on same mint is fast. To other mints would require cashu -> lightning (BTC on LN) and then LN transaction to the other mint and conversion (once received) to cashu.

Is this a correct understanding? Cashu is just a usecase of LN that pairs LN-BTC as backing to a new token?
