What Lightning Network
solves
Win overseas revenue, cut payment costs, and reduce payment risk through in-house operation. Three axes that expand what your business can do.
Capture overseas revenue
The Lightning Network is borderless payment infrastructure. Accept payments from Bitcoin users worldwide with zero FX fees and instant settlement.
- Accept payments from anywhere with no FX fees
- Dramatically cheaper than international card payments
- Reach overseas customers without bank accounts
- No middlemen — receive revenue directly
- Ideal for digital content sales and subscriptions
| Monthly sales | Credit card fees | Lightning Network fees | Annual savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| ¥1M | ¥30–50K | A few hundred yen | ¥360–600K |
| ¥5M | ¥150–250K | A few thousand yen | ¥1.8–3M |
| ¥10M | ¥300–500K | A few thousand yen | ¥3.6–6M |
| ¥100M | ¥3–5M | Tens of thousands of yen | ¥36–60M |
Cut payment fees dramatically
Credit card fees run 3–5%. For a business with ¥10M in monthly sales, that's ¥3.6–6M a year. With the Lightning Network, that cost can approach zero.
- Typical per-payment fee is around 0.03%
- Zero chargeback risk (refunds from fraudulent use)
- No merchant screening — start accepting right away
- Handles small payments (micropayments) too
Payment infrastructure you can run yourself
Credit card merchant agreements can be terminated without warning. QR payment providers have had troubles with withheld funds. By running your own Lightning Network node, you gain payment infrastructure that no one can stop.
- Run your own node — no dependence on platforms
- Zero risk of account freezes or suspensions
- Revenue lands instantly in your own wallet
- No custody troubles with withheld funds
- Accept payments 24/7/365, on your own terms
