The Lightning Network is limited in terms of scalability because its current size sets a limit on the number of transactions it can process. The Lightning Network works by opening payment channels between nodes, which allows them to exchange funds almost instantly. However, since the nodes themselves are responsible for exchanging funds, the network’s overall capacity is limited by the number of open payment channels it can support. Although more nodes can be added, this will not increase the network’s overall capacity, as each node will still be limited to the number of payment channels it can maintain.
