Challenges

Traditional Bitcoin transactions, while secure and decentralized, suffer from slow confirmation times and high fees, especially during network congestion, making it impractical for everyday micro-payments or instant transfers. This limitation has hindered Bitcoin's usability as a true medium of exchange.

SOLution

we helped iPayBTC integrate the Lightning Network into their Bitcoin wallet ecosystem to enable faster, low-cost transactions suited for everyday use. We conducted deep research on the protocol, set up the Lightning infrastructure, and built a custom wallet layer that supports seamless peer-to-peer payments over Lightning.
