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.

Trading)VPA, Trading Volume: The Only Window for Retail Investors to Peek Inside the Market (Chapter 2)

  Volume is the only tool retail traders have to peek inside the market. While price alone doesn’t reveal the true strength of a move, volume helps assess whether a price increase or decrease is sustainable. By analyzing volume, traders can better understand market trends and spot when smart money is entering or leaving, providing a crucial edge in decision-making. Why Volume? The chapter opens with a quote from Warren Buffett: “The key is having more information than the other guy – then analyzing it right and using it rationally.” To illustrate how markets work, the author shares a fictional story: The Parable of Uncle Joe . Uncle Joe’s Story Uncle Joe runs a government-licensed company that is the only supplier of a product called widgets. Though the product has real value and doesn't degrade, business is boring—sales are slow, and profits are small. To boost sales, Uncle Joe spreads a subtle rumor through a gossiping neighbor: widgets might soon be in short supply. As expected...

Trading) VPA, Why volume is important? (chapter 1)

  In VPA (Volume Price Analysis), it says that by analyzing price and volume, you can accurately understand the market’s direction. If price goes up with an increase in volume, it’s a strong signal that buying pressure is high. On the other hand, if volume decreases while price rises, it could mean someone is trying to dump their positions at the top. The classic principles from Jesse Livermore and Wyckoff are still valid today, and the author, Anna Coulling , shows that markets are ultimately driven by human emotions. 🧠 1. There's Nothing New — Human Psychology Remains the Same “There is nothing new under the sun” — Ecclesiastes 1:9 The market seems to change, but the fundamentals stay the same . People’s emotions like greed, fear, hope, and regret have always created repeating patterns in the market. No matter how many new technologies, like AI or algorithms, come out, the driving force behind the market is human emotions . 📖 2. Reminiscences of a Stock Ope...
