It's divisible down to 0.00000001.

LN supports sub satoshi (i.e. higher precision) payments on L2.
If you're talking about the numbers getting super small and being unwieldy, most fiat currencies have the opposite problem of the numbers getting super large, they just redenominate every now and then.

- throwaway22032 4y agoYes. In the implementation the units are actually integers, 1 is the minimum. Could easily fork in a new transaction format though.
