openLN

Bitcoin payments at every counter.

Bitcoin gave the world money no one can freeze. Lightning gave that money rails that settle in seconds. openLN gives it a counter to land on.

We build open, non-custodial tools for merchants who would rather own their money than rent the privilege of accepting it: a wallet core, a tap card, a terminal for the counter, a point of sale, reports, a shop. Every piece is open source and self-hostable, and the payment moves from the customer's wallet straight into yours. It does not pass through ours.

A route, not a vault. Behind every openLN payment is a Lightning route that runs from the customer to the merchant. There is no middle account to freeze, because there is no middle account.

One core, five plugins. The wallet is the center of gravity. Cards, POS, POSBOX, reports and shop plug into it, and the whole stack runs on your own box.

• Your keys stay yours. No custody at any point of the path. We build around your wallet; we never stand inside it.
• Your server, your rules. One box, one domain, your data. Self-hosting is not a feature here. It is the point.
• Don't trust. Verify. Every line is open (AGPL-3.0). Read it, compile it, fork it. The source is the proof.
• Counters first. Market stalls, coffee shops, repair desks. If it does not survive a rainy morning, it is not finished.
