Connect
Access the Money Grid natively via Bitcoin
Lightning is powerful, Connect makes it practical
Building on Lightning is the smartest way to scale bitcoin payments, but integration is complex. Lightspark Connect handles nodes, keys, liquidity, and routing, so your team can focus on product and growth.
Automated routing. Our AI-powered routing engine constantly optimizes for speed, reliability, and cost — so every transaction takes the best path, automatically.
Dev-ready from day one. Developer-first APIs and reference integrations that let you skip the boilerplate and ship faster.
Custody, your way. Flexible key management to match your security setup.
Audit-ready reporting. Generate transaction reports, monitor balances, and maintain the finance, legal, and compliance records you need.
Security first. Supports SSO and granular permissioning to meet internal security standards.
"We’re excited to partner with Lightspark to eliminate payment barriers and enable faster and cheaper Bitcoin transactions." Shan Aggarwal, VP of Corporate and Business Development

Custody
Multiple key management choices, including Remote Key and Operating Signing Key to suit your security needs.
Remote Key Setup. In the Remote Keys setup you hold your node’s private keys, including the Bitcoin wallet key, entirely on your servers, rather than on the Node connected to the Lightning Network (which runs on Lightspark’s cloud infrastructure).
Operating Signing Key. In the Operation Signing Key setup, the Bitcoin wallet key is held in memory and encrypted at rest within the Lightning wallet’s software, which, like all customer Lightning Node software, runs on Lightspark’s cloud infrastructure. The Bitcoin key does not leave the Lightning wallet software.
Node management
Enterprise-grade node infrastructure, fully managed.
Version and Software Management. We manage node patches and software updates with no work on your end — ensuring uninterrupted operations and minimal downtime.
Liquidity Management. Channel liquidity is continuously monitored and optimized for peak performance using Lightspark Predict. Our AI-driven system enables seamless 24/7 transactions while maximizing capital efficiency.
Balanced node performance. Distribute load across your nodes for better uptime, faster payments, and built-in redundancy — no manual juggling required.
