Lightning Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency protocol with a DPoS consensus mechanism. It is a hard fork of Bitcoin that was created with the goal of improving transaction speeds and scalabilty. Lightning Bitcoin's on-chain governance system enables LBTC holders to vote for the blockchain improvement proposals and the delegates who maintain the network as Lightning Nodes. Lightning Bitcoin is not related to the Lighting Network, which is an off-chain protocol built on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Bitcoin Cash SV is a cryptocurrency that was created as a result of a hard fork of the Bitcoin Cash blockchain that occurred on November 15, 2018. The central issue that led to the hard fork of Bitcoin Cash was a debate among prominent members of the Bitcoin Cash community regarding block size. A larger block size can improve transaction times, but also lead to greater network centralization. Roger Ver, an influential cryptocurrency advocate, was one of the central figures in favor of keeping the smaller 32 MB block size, while Craig Wright, the chief scientist at nChain, favored a larger 128 MB block size. The division between these two factions led to the hard fork that created Bitcoin Cash ABC and Bitcoin Cash SV.
