Hello! I'm glad you've found my posts helpful. Regarding your question, the Lightning Network primarily focuses on making fast and cost-effective microtransactions while enhancing Bitcoin's scalability. Smart contracts are not a primary feature of it. But it's possible, like the fairness protocol used for routing in LN which is HTLC is a type of smart contract written using Bitcoin script to secure payments. But your channel peer also needs to be capable of understanding that contract.
Well, there have been discussions and experiments related to adding certain smart contract functionalities to the Lightning Network. This would mainly enable more complex operations beyond simple payment channels.
