The Bitcoin Pyramid - At the lowest layer today
![Page 12: The Next Frontier of Bitcoin](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012918/55c3a5abbb61eb28338b47e3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

The Goal• Holy grail:
Instant, secure payments
• Payment channels• Open protocol• Layer 2. Bitcoin
base• “Lightning
network”,“Impulse protocol”
![Page 14: The Next Frontier of Bitcoin](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012918/55c3a5abbb61eb28338b47e3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Payment channel analysisTrustless + multi-sig. Example use case:
Customer makes instant, secure payment to Lyft
Customer is secure against BitPay stealing funds
Lyft & BitPay are secure against Customer clawback
BitPay does not hold funds; funds go straight to Lyft.
Wallet software updates required

More Layer-2 servicesBIP65 “CLTV” - Funds locked on-chain for X days
Semi-trusted escrow (2-of-3) - no funds held
“Internet of Chains” - side chains and more
Deploy new bitcoin features rapidly
Non-currency chains
Smart property: transfer ownership of stocks, cars, …

Identity & Smart Contracts
In a decentralized world, “identity” becomes key nexus
Decentralized markets demand [anonymous] identity, reputation.
Smart contracts: Digitize every fact, then trigger action
ID+SC: Completes the decentralized landscape
