Zero Hash launches Lightning Network and Universal Money Address (UMA) support in partnership with Lightspark

CHICAGO, July 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zero Hash, the leading crypto and stablecoin platform, today announced that it has embedded the Lightning Network into its infrastructure, enabling instant, low-cost bitcoin transfers. Zero Hash integrated the Lightning Network in partnership with Lightspark, the leading enterprise-grade infrastructure for payments on the Internet.1

As of today, Zero Hash’s full-stack API and SDK infrastructure abstracts away the complexities of integrating Lightning, enabling companies to offer their customers the ability to send, receive, or pay with Bitcoin in near real-time and at low cost. Companies can natively embed Lightning into their application and control the front-end customer experience. Zero Hash manages the end-to-end technical and regulated money movement.

Zero Hash’s crypto and stablecoin infrastructure seamlessly enables additional rails for customers to build real-world utility and new innovative models for the future of payments across remittances, commerce, payroll, and brokerages. Zero Hash powers many leading on-ramps and payment groups, including Stripe and Shift4.

“Lightning is another example of Zero Hash simplifying access to the future rails and transfer of rail. Our partnership with Lightspark enables our customers to send BTC at fast speeds and low costs globally, rivaling incumbent methods,” said Edward Woodford, Founder and CEO of Zero Hash. “For companies who want to leverage the Lightning Network, Zero Hash provides a proven, trusted, and compliant bridge to use these rails through our API or SDK.”

“Zero Hash enabling Lightning unlocks a key milestone in our shared mission of bringing Internet-powered payments to businesses and consumers. We’re also excited to see Zero Hash’s partners, which include some of the largest brokerages, fintech, and payments groups in the world, be able to provide their customers with UMAs - making sending money as simple as sending an email,” said David Marcus, CEO and Co-Founder of Lightspark. “We'll continue to partner with the Zero Hash team to improve accessibility to Lightning and power new models for the future of payments.”
