Lnd Emulator Utility Work Review

I wanted to provide a quick update on our work with the LND emulator utility. We have successfully integrated the tool into our local development environments to streamline Lightning Network testing.

While not strictly "LND" emulation, running LND on Bitcoin’s (regression test mode) mode is the most authentic form of emulation. RegTest allows you to generate blocks instantly via RPC. Tools like bitcoind in RegTest act as the blockchain emulator, while LND runs as a real binary—but on a fake chain. lnd emulator utility work
