A little about us
We’re a group of lightning network explorers, designers, and bitcoin developers, passionately creating tools which will help catalyze bitcoin’s network growth and accelerate adoption. We understand that product accessibility designed around sound user experience will greatly expedite this process.
We’ve worked on projects encouraging bitcoin adoption for several years; including our current contributions to one of the first-ever lightning network wallets, Zap. Today, in sharing OpenNode, we want to push deeper by ensuring businesses of all sizes and backgrounds, can take advantage of all that bitcoin has to offer.
Current roadmap
Our current focus is testing with our community of merchants and receiving feedback to further cultivate the best product we can. Next, we’ll concentrate on scaling lightning and our services by onboarding as many merchants as possible and securing essential partnerships.
We hope to develop plugins for Shopify and other ecommerce platforms so lightning will be readily available with your current webstores. We’re talking with Point of Sale (PoS) businesses and physical stores to create lightning enabled devices. We’re also looking to exchanges to facilitate fiat conversion and power them with lightning network ready services.
There is a lot of work ahead, but we couldn’t be more excited to pave the way for this revolutionary technology with all of you.
If you’re an exchange or PoS partner interested in spreading lightning, please contact us.
Take your business to the next level
To be inclusive of all businesses small or large, we arrived at one pricing model:
First $1500/month in revenue is free, anything after that is 1%. Simple pricing which allows everyone to participate.
