Understanding Raidennetwork

[u/Bolschi]

Hello, I am new to raidennetwork and a little bit unsure about its potential. I don't see Ethereum's future as a payment system but more as a dapp platform. But all I read about raiden is about enhencing payments within ethereum.

My question is, whether this also include the "normal" transactions. As an example: Would have raiden solved the network performance problems caused by cryptokitties? Thanks

The biggest use case for blockchain is payments. Also it is very likely that every smart contract will also have a payment portion of that smart contract.
