Lightning is good, but it still has problems for automated payments.
Why some people may prefer Sikka:
• No payment channels
No opening, closing, or balancing channels.
• No routing failures
Payments don’t fail because a route is offline or lacks liquidity.
• No routing fees
No intermediaries taking cuts for forwarding payments.
• No expiring invoices
Just send transactions directly.
• Parallel by design
Sikka transactions attach directly to a DAG instead of waiting around one blockchain tip.
Lightning scales Bitcoin.
Sikka experiments with a different architecture entirely:
feeless + DAG-native + post-quantum + machine-to-machine focused.
