How will Lightning Network(s) improve scalability and privacy in Bitcoin? What is the Basis of Lightning Technology (BOLT) interoperability standard? How many implementations are there? Onion-routed, anonymous payments payments. Are there centralisation risks?

As I explained, the Lightning Network is an open protocol, like Bitcoin, and is a collaboration between 6 teams & companies producing open source software to a common specification.
