What is Off-Chain?

What is Off-Chain?


  Off-chain is not the main blockchain system, but transactions occur outside. Through this, it is possible to solve the scalability problem that could not be solved on-chain. Offchain records only core data on the blockchain, and at this time, data that needs high speed is recorded on the central server of the DApp, not the blockchain. Offchain has advantages such as low fees, high speed, and high transaction throughput. However, there is also a disadvantage, which is that the transaction details recorded in the off-chain cannot be fully trusted. A representative method for solving the off-chain scalability problem is a lighting network.


The Bitcoin protocol takes an on-chain payment method that records all transactions generated in the network on the blockchain. This takes a very long time to verify because it stores all the transaction data in the block. Therefore, delays in confirmation occur, and fees paid to miners naturally become expensive. In the end, Bitcoin's market liquidity decreases and small payments are impossible, resulting in a decrease in its value as a payment method, that is, currency.


Conversely, the lighting network introduces an off-chain verification method, so that all transactions occurring in the network are not recorded in the blockchain. At this time, in order to create a transaction, you must first send enough bitcoin, a kind of deposit, to the multisig address you share with the counterparty, where only a small fee is charged after opening the channel.


Numerous transactions between people trading on this channel are off-chain transactions and are not traded on the blockchain. Afterwards, the parties who have completed the transaction liquidate the balance and send it to their respective personal addresses, resulting in an on-chain transaction, recorded on the blockchain, and the channel terminated. Off-chain transactions occurring in the channel do not require confirmation from the miner, so there is no fee and the transaction can be concluded immediately. As a result, small remittances that were not possible in the existing Bitcoin protocol can be made, which can have the liquidity of Bitcoin and value as a payment method.

A very easy explanation for quantitative easing and quantitative tightening

The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States. The central bank issues money. So the Fed prints dollars. An institution that can print money won't invest in bonds to make money. The Fed's purpose of buying or selling bonds is to control the amount of currency. The central bank can issue money, but you can't give it away to anyone. It's a crime if the central bank just prints the money and distributes it on the street. So when it increases the volume of money, it uses a specific method, which is bond buying. Mainly government bonds. The central bank buys bonds = The central bank gives money to the private sector and the bonds return to the central bank. The central bank is an independent agency. The government can use fiscal policy through tax returns and bond issuance, and it cannot intervene in central bank monetary policy. The government borrows money by selling treasury bonds to the central bank for fiscal policy. The central bank doesn't keep the ...

Big event to impact near future asset markets: Fed's balance sheet shrinkage

One of the Fed's QT measures, the reduction of the balance sheet, is one of the best events in the second half of 2022 along with the midterm elections. QT is expected to accelerate to $95 billion per month, and the Fed's QT size will double from September, so from September, it will fall below the monthly limit of QT and we see the T-bill repaid for the first time. Since the beginning of the 2020 rise was caused by 1) lowering the basemoney interest rate to zero interest rate (0.00-0.25%) after the COVID-19 pandemic, and 2) increasing the assets held by the purchase of government bonds and MBS to about $9 trillion (about 1.000 trillion won), providing huge liquidity to the market, f ed implements quantitative austerity (QT) to curb inflation triggered by rising markets! It has already started QT worth $47.5 billion (approximately $64.65 trillion) every month, including $30 billion in government bonds and $17.5 billion in MBS, but t he fed's announcement that it will double...
