BTC · PaymentsLoading price…Bitcoin's ecosystem centers on proof-of-work mining (industrial mining pools securing the base layer), the Lightning Network (a Layer 2 for instant, low-fee payments), and a large custody/exchange layer including spot ETFs. BTC itself functions mainly as a store of value and settlement asset rather than an everyday transaction currency.
How it works
- Transaction broadcast
- Miners compete (Proof-of-Work)
- Block added to chain
- Wallets & exchanges settle
