Voltage announces Surge and their Next Generation Lightning Network as a Service Platform

WICHITA, Kan., April 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Voltage, the industry leader of Bitcoin's Lightning Network infrastructure, today announced two major product launches. Voltage currently powers the top Lightning companies, including Zion, Impervious, Amboss, Mash, and THNDR Games. Voltage makes it easy for any business to integrate the Lightning Network into their operations with their simple dashboard and API.

The Lightning Network is becoming adopted globally for uses like cross-border payments, paywalls and subscriptions, game rewards, and small payments for B2C services like coffee shops and breweries. Voltage is uniquely positioned to make it capable for all businesses to run Lightning Network products and services. At the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami, Voltage released Surge, a Lightning node observability tool, and their next-generation platform which comes with radical improvements.
