Lightning makes legacy payment rails look ancient.
Payments settle in seconds, with fees <0.02% — literally fractions of a penny.
That’s 100–300× cheaper than credit cards.

We’re onboarding business to Lightning payments.

Brace yourselves for enterprise-grade decentralized payments!

The entire lightning network is extremely decentralized from hobbyists to Fortune 500s.

LN micropayments are possible universally (impossible for trad payments) while enterprises can instantly settle >$100k.


This simulation uses crowdsourced and randomized data to show how decentralized and performant the lightning is for users from hobbyists to enterprises.

Slices of the top network nodes are based on network nodes public capacity.

To create this max flow report, sources and destinations are selected randomly to perform exhaustive multipath payments.

The resulting performance for the entire network is an extremely conservative metric to motivate highly decentralized and efficient payments.

Introducing the Ghost Address! 👻⚡️

A Ghost Address is a Lightning Address for every lightning node, eliminating the reliance on custodial intermediaries to obtain a Lightning Address. Ghost Addresses enable easy lightning payments directly to self-custody!

What's a Ghost Address? 👻

It's the fusion of Phantom Payments first described by @npub1spral... with the simplicity of Lightning Addresses from @npub1rvg76... . It's all about making lightning transactions as easy as email. 📧⚡️

Getting started is easy. Update to the latest Ghost-enabled Thunderhub.io , claim your Ghost Address, and step into the new era of self-custodied lightning zaps!


Dive deeper into Ghost Addresses, how they work, and their impact on the Lightning Network in our latest blog post: https://amboss.tech/blog/ghost-addresses .

Lastly, Merry Christmas from the Amboss team! Now we can be sure that you'll be getting into the Christmas Spirit! 👻🎄

Nodes using Hydro collectively control 49 BTC of capacity on the lightning network. In just our first week, we've already delivered over 1 BTC of capacity to these managed nodes.


It's exciting to see businesses benefitting from decentralized payments infrastructure!
