We are thrilled to launch two initiatives: LN Ecosystem and LN Alliance. These efforts aim to:
a) promote the widespread adoption of the Lightning Network and encourage ownership of Lightning Nodes, making it an ubiquitous trend,

b) feature projects that are building on Bitcoin, Lightning, and/or Nostr under LN Ecosystem and feature key partners, who are working with Lnfi, under LN Alliance to push adoption forward.

c) increase awareness and adoption of LN Link (developed by Lnfi) which supports Taproot Assets for seamless payments through Nostr.

Introducing LN Ecosystem

Bitcoin, Lightning Network, and Nostr stand apart from existing blockchain and Layer 2 solutions. They are truly open and permissionless protocols that Lnfi leverages on. Imagine a world where centralised and decentralised apps operate without borders, driven by the power of Bitcoin, Lightning, and Nostr. (Learn about why we build on Bitcoin + Lightning + Nostr)

In this interconnected ecosystem, users enjoy seamless interoperability, with their identities and asset ownership effortlessly following them across various platforms. For example, As part of our offering, LN Node is a service designed for end users to easily set up and manage their nodes without any technical proficiency. We expect LN Node holders to be able to easily connect to:

  • Any Lightning or Nostr apps that integrate support for Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) or LN Link.
  • Any Lightning apps that enable login with signing messages to prove the ownership of their node.

These apps automatically become part of this broader ecosystem, without the need to develop directly on the Lnfi Network. This is the beauty of true interoperability.

LN Ecosystem serves to highlight and promote awareness of such applications.

Introducing LN Alliance

The LN Alliance aims to foster a tightly knit Lnfi community through the following initiatives:

Tech Integration

Our goal is to boost the adoption of the interoperable Lightning and Nostr networks through collaborative efforts within the community. This initiative will showcase key tech partners working closely with Lnfi and integrating Lnfi’s technologies, ensuring adherence to standards and preventing duplicated efforts in tool development.

Wallet Solutions

We aim to promote the adoption and adherence to Nostr Wallet Connect, Bitcoin Connect, and LN Link among wallet solution providers, enhancing interoperability and user experience.

Liquidity Solutions and Providers

Our objective is to aggregate liquidity on the LN Exchange and the broader Lightning Network, facilitating seamless settlements and fostering a more robust ecosystem.

And many more…

Our Early LN Ecosystem and LN Alliance Partners

We are excited to announce our early partners — Voltage, and Amboss — who are leading innovators in the space. They will join both our LN Ecosystem and LN Alliance.

Voltage is the leading provider of Lightning Node infrastructure, offering a complete range of services like LSP and Surge for observing nodes. Notably, Lnfi first batch of LN Nodes — LN Node OG Series — is hosted using Voltage services.

Voltage brings unparalleled expertise to our platform. It has a proven track record of hosting self-custody Lightning Nodes and is trusted by many Lightning companies, including Amboss, LNPay, THNDR Games, and Satsback.com.

Amboss is a leading provider of payments operations for the Bitcoin Lightning Network, using machine learning to offer optimized routing and liquidity automation in decentralized finance.

We look forward to working closely with Amboss to integrate liquidity automation using ‘Hydro’ for reliable payments among other Amboss tools for LN Nodes.

Our partnerships with Voltage and Amboss serve as a cornerstone for launching LN Node and LN Link, as well as establishing the LN Ecosystem and LN Alliance. These initiatives represent a significant step forward for the Lightning Network and Lnfi.

We invite visionary partners — whether you are developing on Lightning/Nostr, providing wallet solutions, or offering liquidity services — to join our LN Ecosystem and LN Alliance. Together, let’s build the largest and most dynamic decentralised ecosystem for the future.

We will be releasing a dedicated page to feature our partners and enable users to easily navigate the ecosystem.

Join us and be at the forefront of this groundbreaking transformation!
