In this video, Bitcoin entrepreneur, author, and educator Andreas M. Antonopoulos explains a bit about the development of Lightning and walks through some of the current challenges.

It can be built without strict adherence with consensus rules, meaning that different developers can experiment with different sets of B.O.L.T. standard.
