Lightspark: The Future of Bitcoin and Lightning

Lightspark is trying to help the world with an open interoperable dirt cheap real time settlement payment protocol. The business model for us is quite simple, which is we're providing all these services and we're taking a small cut of the transactions that actually go through our stack. It's really the easiest, fastest way for anyone to actually onboard the Lightning network and send and receive payments in no time. No operational overhead, no high liquidity requirements, none of that. We've taken something that's fairly complex but great when you know how to use it into something that's actually really simple, reliable, and enterprise grade.
