Micropayments
Infrastructure
Payment batching and aggregation for high-volume, low-value transactions. Content creators, API providers, streaming services—monetize at the margin.
How Our Infrastructure Works
We batch and aggregate so you don't have to
1. Integrate SDK/API
Add our SDK to your app. Users authenticate with Lightning Faucet balance.
2. Record Micropayments
Each tiny payment (even sub-sat) is logged in our ledger. No on-chain fees per transaction.
3. We Batch Settle
Periodically, we aggregate and settle to recipients via Lightning. One efficient payment instead of thousands.
4. Users Withdraw
Users can withdraw their balance anytime via Lightning. Real Bitcoin, instant.
What You Can Build
Business models that were impossible before Lightning
Pay-Per-API-Call
Charge exactly what each API request costs. L402-compatible endpoints with per-request pricing.
Streaming Payments
Pay per second of video, audio, or content consumption. Stop paying? Stream stops.
Content Monetization
Readers pay per article, paragraph, or word. Unlock premium content with friction-free micropayments.
Anti-Spam Deposits
Require tiny deposits to prevent abuse. Legitimate users pay pennies, spammers pay real money at scale.
AI Agent Payments
Agents paying for inference, data, or services. Micropayments are native to autonomous systems.
Gaming Micro-TX
In-game purchases measured in sats. Buy items, power-ups, or extra lives without credit card friction.
Why Lightning Changes Everything
Traditional payments can't do this
Credit Cards
$0.30 + 2.9% minimum makes micropayments impossible
Bank Transfers
$15-30 wire fees, 3-5 day settlement
PayPal/Venmo
Minimums, chargebacks, account freezes
Lightning
No minimum. Instant. Final. Global. 24/7.
