About Lightning Labs
We build software for the Lightning Network to make Bitcoin a foundation for financial applications. We develop open-source, secure, and scalable Lightning systems that let users send and receive money. We also offer verifiable, non-custodial financial services based on Lightning, combining open-source software with advanced Bitcoin financial tools.
We offer Taproot Assets, a protocol for issuing and transferring assets like stablecoins on the Lightning Network, which allows for instant, low-fee transactions. Another product is Lightning Terminal, a web interface that helps node operators manage and improve their node’s quality and liquidity. This tool makes it easier to run a Lightning node and facilitate fast, low-fee Bitcoin transactions, with features such as a personalized dashboard, network explorer, and liquidity tools.
