Austin, Texas Aug 19, 2024 (Issuewire.com) - Blockhenge today announces its dedication to supporting the Bitcoin Lightning Network with deployment of multiple geographically-distributed Lightning nodes with an initial combined total liquidity of 2.0 BTC.
The Bitcoin Lightning Network is Bitcoin’s decentralized second-layer payments network, facilitating instant final-settlement of payments at zero or near-zero transaction cost. As the Bitcoin Lightning Network grows, it is imperative that organizations like Blockhenge participate to keep the network decentralized and capitalized.
Blockhenge not only supports the Bitcoin Lightning Network via payments routing through its nodes, but also provides direct liquidity to its customers. “Our customers are increasingly in need of inbound liquidity to support their own Bitcoin Lightning integrations. By providing Lightning nodes with which to establish payment channels, we’re directly answering our customers’ needs.” says CEO Dustin D. Trammell. Anyone may open Lightning channels with Blockhenge’s nodes for outbound payments routing, and channels with inbound liquidity may be established by contacting Blockhenge to coordinate.
Blockhenge has chosen to host its nodes on the VOLTAGE cloud hosting network. VOLTAGE provides turn-key node solutions for both Bitcoin and Lightning nodes and has multiple geographically distributed data centers available within which to house nodes. These capabilities met Blockhenge’s requirements for its Lightning Network node deployment.
