I did a little research on bitcoin's lighting network

If I understand correctly it works like this:

From a btc wallet the btc is converted to a lighting wallet. then a node is created and so a payment channel is created. after the transaction is done this channel is closed and sent back to the blockchain.

If we step away from the bitcoin network for a moment.

Is it possible to create a Coin and then create a lighting network and implement this in an app?
