## Products

- [LN Exchange](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lnfi_network): LN Exchange implements order book trading through Lightning Network settlement, enabling spot and perpetual trading of Bitcoin, Taproot Assets, and RGB assets. The system processes peer-to-peer order matching via Nostr protocol while maintaining atomic settlement execution on Lightning channels. (Decentralised Exchange, Live, Main Product)
- [LN Bridge](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lnfi_network): LN Bridge implements cross-chain asset bridging through Taproot Assets protocol, enabling ERC-20 USDT transfers from Ethereum to Lightning Network. The system converts external tokens into Taproot Assets while providing staking rewards and Lightning-native functionality. (Bridge, Live)

## Assets

- [Lnfi Network (LN)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lnfi_network): LN is the utility token of Lnfi Network. It is used for governance participation, trading fee discounts, staking rewards, and accessing features across LN Exchange, LN Node, and other ecosystem products. Token holders benefit from multi-protocol support as LN operates natively across both Taproot Assets and RGB protocols while maintaining cross-chain compatibility through deployment on BNB Chain.
