How the Bitcoin Beach Wallet API is used to accept payments on the Lightning Network

API for enabling Lightning Network payments

Connect to Lightning quickly without the lift of deploying a core banking ledger. The Galoy API offers organizations a quick way to get started building on the Galoy banking stack.

Benefits of using the Galoy API through existing bitcoin banks:

  • Quick integration
  • No lock-in
  • Future proof, built on open source
  • Bitcoin banks running on Galoy:

  • Bitcoin Beach Wallet (BBW)
  • Bitcoin Jungle App
  • Core banking platform for launching a bitcoin bank

    Running an instance of the Galoy core banking platform enables organizations to reduce reliance on third parties.

    The platform also reduces the development burden of building on bitcoin via a suite of tools such as apps for consumers, merchants and administrators, an accounting ledger, an open API and multi-signature setup for secure custody of funds.
