Clients can also access a line of credit for sending and receiving payments without pre-funding. ### Key Features - Real-time payments on Bitcoin and Lightning - Flexible lines of credit for payments without pre-funding - SOC 2 Type II & NMLS compliant infrastructure - Low-fee, high volume transaction architecture - Global reach with enterprise grade uptime - Access USD and Bitcoin across environments - Easy and intuitive engineering integration ### Two Operating Models **Line of Credit**: Bitcoin infrastructure backed by a business line of credit. Hit our API as many times as you need to send and receive payments. We will settle up at the end of the billing cycle. **Node**: Bitcoin infrastructure backed by a cloud Lightning node. Customers have full control over node credentials and funds. You are responsible for ensuring funds are in the main wallet, but you can allow Voltage to deploy funds as needed. ### Lightning Command Center Onboard your team and get started with your first wallet in seconds. Send and receive bitcoin and USD at near-instant speeds. Set permissions, allocate balances, and track activity in real-time. Scaling to a thousand wallets is just as simple as creating the first one. ### Developer Experience Voltage was built for builders. Our modern API makes it simple to send and receive Bitcoin and USD with endpoints that behave just as you expect them to. Use webhooks to trigger actions across your system the moment a payment happens. Test everything safely in a full-feature sandbox, then flip the test off and go live when you're ready. **For setup instructions and technical documentation, visit: http://docs.voltageapi.com/** ## Industries We Serve ### Financial Exchanges For exchanges, every second counts and every basis point matters. Voltage lets you move Bitcoin & USD faster, more efficiently, and with the transparency your teams and users demand — all without adding complexity. ### iGaming Voltage is the easy-mode for adding bitcoin and global USD payments to your games. Would you rather spend your time neck-deep in your payments integration, or would you rather be designing awesome games? ### Digital Wallets Your users have Bitcoin. Now give them the speed they expect. With Voltage, digital wallets get Lightning-powered instant payments, all driven by a dead-simple API. ### Neo-banks Your customers expect instant payments and global reach. Traditional rails can't deliver that. Voltage gives neo-banks Lightning-powered infrastructure with real-time settlement, predictable costs, and full operational visibility—without the complexity. ### Payment Service Providers If you're a financial service provider, let Voltage take the heavy lifting out of running Bitcoin and Lightning operations. Secure key management, audit-friendly operations, and real visibility — no guesswork required. ## Use Cases ### Simplified Lightning Voltage makes integrating Bitcoin payments effortless. A single, powerful API gives your teams full control, so you can deploy faster, scale smarter, and focus on building your business instead of wrestling with infrastructure. ### Compliance For exchanges, compliance is not a joke. Voltage has built in compliance tools so adding Lightning support becomes a power-up instead of a liability. ### Fee Mitigation As an exchange, you're moving massive volumes. A significant portion is lost to on-chain fees. Voltage can help you reduce the fees by moving this Bitcoin over Lightning so you don't leave money on the table. ### Instant Settlement Your customers are depositing and withdrawing 24 hours a day, but Bitcoin only confirms transactions every 10 minutes. We can help you settle these Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals nearly instantly with the power of Lightning. ### USD Settlement Voltage supports USD stablecoin payments alongside Bitcoin, enabling instant settlement for both currencies through a single API. ### Global Reach Voltage maintains Lightning channel partnerships with more than twenty of the leading global nodes. Payment hops are minimized with 95% of the Lightning network, ensuring global reach with enterprise grade uptime. ## Pricing Plans ### Essentials Plan - Free - Try out the Voltage platform for free - Free developer network transactions ### Enterprise Plan - Contact Us - White-glove support - Business SLA - Free developer network transactions ## Resources ### Content Archives - Blog: /blog - Educational articles, technical guides, and industry insights about Bitcoin, Lightning Network, and payment infrastructure - Webinars: /webinars - Recorded webinars and educational sessions - Case Studies: /case-studies - Real-world implementations and success stories ### Developer Resources - API Documentation: http://docs.voltageapi.com/ - System Status: https://status.voltage.cloud/ ## Getting Started To get started with Voltage: 1.
