Lightning Labs

Founded 2016

Run Lightning nodes and process instant bitcoin payments

You can use Lightning Labs to build and manage infrastructure for fast, low-cost bitcoin transactions. The suite includes the Lightning Network Daemon to run your own node, along with Lightning Terminal to inspect liquidity, manage payment channels, and monitor network health from a web dashboard. Developers can integrate non-custodial layer-two payments directly into web applications, automate routing fees, and utilize protocols like L402 for machine-to-machine paid APIs. Engineering teams can maintain reliable payment rails without relying on centralized payment processors.
