The timing of the news is also appropriate since cryptocurrencies are gaining prominence in international financial markets. With its vast user base, Revolut is shown itself to be a leader in providing innovative bitcoin services.
In addition to Revolut, we can see that a group of tech-savvy researchers from Florida International University have developed a novel way to enable Bitcoin transactions outside of the internet.
LNMesh paradigm
They have, in particular, taken use of the Lightning Network, a ‘layer’ on top of the Bitcoin blockchain that is both fast and cheap to use. LNMesh is a method that uses local mesh networks without an external internet connection, connecting devices locally over Bluetooth and WiFi.
Existing asynchronous payment techniques, in which an online node can send payments to an offline node, are different from the LNMesh paradigm. LNMesh even further proves that payments may be made while all nodes are down. Therefore, this development has the potential to dramatically increase people’s access to cryptocurrency.
