Led by Elizabeth Stark and Lalou Osuntokun, Lightning Labs develops software that powers the Lightning Network for faster, cheaper, global payments atop the bitcoin blockchain – crypto’s most secure settlement ledger. With Lightning, users can send and receive money more efficiently than is possible on legacy financial systems or centralized blockchains. Extending what’s possible with Lightning, Lightning Labs has also developed Taproot Assets Protocol for digital dollars and assets on Lightning, L402 Protocol for pay-per-API call functionality, and developer tools built on L402 for Lightning’s simple integration with AI.
