Blockstream is a major contributor to Core Lightning, an implementation of the Lightning Network protocol optimized for performance and extendibility.
Not only does the Lightning Network enable faster, cheaper Bitcoin payments, it opens up a world of microtransaction use-cases that are not possible within the traditional financial system.
To make adopting Lightning as easy as possible, Blockstream has built Lightning Charge, an intuitive API for accepting Lightning payments. Optimized for developer friendliness, Lightning Charge supports fast and easy integration with near-zero configuration.
