“The launch of the Lightning Network allows consumers around the world to use cryptocurrencies to make everyday purchases,” said Pavel Prikhodko, head of LightningPeach. “Through partnerships like Paytomat, we are one step closer to making every point of service terminal cryptocurrency-friendly and Lightning Network-enabled.”
“Businesses are willing to accept Bitcoin as a payment method, and crypto-enthusiast are willing to pay using it. We’ll give an opportunity to do it both of them. But with the Bitfury partnership and implementing of the Lightning Network to our ecosystem, this opportunity become really quick and efficient,” said Yurii Olentir, Paytomat Founder and CEO. “We’re happy to develop the future of crypto-market together making the fast crypto-payments real.”
