Still very much in its infancy, the Lightning Network, currently boasts more nodes than Bitcoin’s biggest rival, Bitcoin Cash. This is especially interesting as the Lightning Network has been dubbed a scaling solution that could well make Bitcoin Cash meaningless.
Statistics show that the Lightning Network has taken a slight lead over BCH when it comes to the total number of nodes running on their networks. The data shows there are currently 1,347 Lightning nodes compared to Bitcoin Cash’s 1,286.
The Lightning Network has grown exponentially as it builds towards being a potential solution to be added to the Bitcoin Blockchain. Back in mid-January, it held only 29 nodes.
Lightning Network node count has exceeded Bcash node count. In addition 70%+ of the BCash nodes are hosted on a "Hangzhou Alibaba" servers which you can check here: https://t.co/g8HC8bAkIX?from=article-links https://t.co/iIUyGaftvQ?from=article-links pic.twitter.com/g1tmAMkXPz
