A percentage of individuals and cryptocurrency users have been using the second layer protocol on the main BTC network as there are 2,307 LN nodes today, and 5,036 open channels.
According to statistics, the Lighting Network shows over $142,000 USD worth of BTC locked in channels or being used on the network right now.
