Export the Lightning Network Figure: an integral guide
Lightning Network (LN) is a decentralized open source payment system built on bitcoin that allows rapid, low and safe transactions among users. Although it is not directly accessible to the public due to security reasons, there are ways to obtain information about the topology and network nodes configurations. Network and analyze the structure of the network.
** What is a ray network chart?
A light network graph represents nodes, channels and connections within the LN ecosystem. Topography, which shows how the different nodes interact with each other. When analyzing this graph, researchers can identify patterns, understand the relationships of nodes and obtain information on network behavior.
** Why export the graph?
Exporting the ray network chart is essential for several applications:

Example use case
Suppose you are interested in studying the patterns of the capacity of the light network in a specific subset of nodes (for example, those with a high volume of transactions). You can use Thunder Network Explorer to:
- Connect to the network.
- Recover the node information, including its volumes and transaction capabilities.
