For now, these implementations can only be run on testnet because they use segwit, which is not activated on the main bitcoin blockchain (mainnet). +Prototype implementations of the Lightning Network have been released by several teams. The Lightning Network is one possible way of implementing routed payment channels. There are several other designs that aim to achieve similar goals, such as Teechan and Tumblebit.
