LND is a complete implementation of the Lightning Network protocol written in Go, enabling fast, low-cost payments on Bitcoin through a network of payment channels. Developers use LND to build applications that support instant micropayments and scalable peer-to-peer transactions without settling every payment on-chain. It provides a full node daemon with RPC APIs for managing channels, routing payments, and interacting with the Bitcoin blockchain.
