Was ist On-chain?
A transaction recorded in a Bitcoin block, as opposed to one settled off-chain in a channel or inside a custodian's ledger.
On-chain settlement is final, public and costs block space. Off-chain settlement is cheap and fast but carries a different trust or liveness assumption depending on the mechanism.
The distinction matters for data as well as payments: on-chain metrics see only on-chain activity, which is a shrinking share of total economic use.
