We deliver audit-ready smart contracts on day one, accelerating your time-to-market. Our development process is built on proven security patterns and battle-tested libraries like OpenZeppelin.
Legacy System to Lightning Network Integration
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts.
- Custom Logic:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and bespoke tokenomics. - Security First: Formal verification and comprehensive unit testing with
Hardhat/Foundry. - Gas Optimization: Code designed for minimum execution cost on mainnet.
From a 2-week MVP to a complex DeFi protocol, we build the secure foundation your application needs.
Core Integration Capabilities We Deliver
We architect and deploy secure, production-ready bridges between your legacy financial rails and the Lightning Network, delivering measurable speed, cost, and reliability improvements.
Business Outcomes: From Cost Center to Revenue Stream
Our Lightning Network integration transforms your legacy payment infrastructure from a cost center into a high-performance, low-fee revenue generator. We deliver concrete metrics and guaranteed SLAs.
Eliminate Payment Processing Fees
Replace 2-4% card network fees with Lightning's sub-cent transaction costs. Directly integrate with your existing settlement layer to retain revenue.
Unlock Instant Global Settlement
Move from 2-5 day settlement cycles to real-time finality. Improve cash flow and enable new business models like micropayments and pay-per-use services.
Reduce Infrastructure Overhead
Decommission legacy payment gateways and associated reconciliation systems. Our managed node service handles liquidity, channel management, and uptime.
Create New Revenue Streams
Enable Lightning-native features: instant payouts, streaming payments, and programmable money flows. Monetize services previously constrained by high fees.
Guaranteed Implementation Timeline
From architecture review to production deployment in a predictable timeframe. We provide a fixed-scope engagement with clear deliverables.
Phased Implementation: From Proof-of-Concept to Global Scale
A clear roadmap for integrating Lightning Network capabilities into your existing financial rails, from initial validation to full-scale production.
| Phase & Deliverables | Proof-of-Concept (4-6 weeks) | Pilot Deployment (8-12 weeks) | Enterprise Scale (Ongoing) |
|---|---|---|---|
Objective | Validate feasibility & ROI | Live test with select users | Full production & global rollout |
Core Integration Scope | Single payment corridor, basic API | Multi-channel support, enhanced API | Full legacy system integration, custom modules |
Transaction Volume | Up to 1,000 tx/month | Up to 10,000 tx/month | Unlimited, with auto-scaling |
Settlement Finality | < 60 seconds | < 30 seconds | < 3 seconds |
Security & Compliance Review | Architecture assessment | Penetration testing report | Continuous monitoring & audit trail |
Support & SLA | Email support, 48h response | Priority support, 24h response | 24/7 dedicated SRE, 1h critical response |
Typical Investment | $15K - $30K | $50K - $100K | Custom (based on scale) |
Our Integration Methodology: Secure, Iterative, Production-Ready
We de-risk your Lightning Network integration with a structured, security-first process designed for financial systems. Our methodology ensures predictable delivery, zero downtime, and compliance with enterprise security standards.
Security-First Architecture Review
We begin with a comprehensive audit of your existing payment rails and data models. Our team maps attack surfaces and designs a secure integration layer with multi-signature controls and zero-trust principles, ensuring your core systems remain isolated and protected.
Phased Proof-of-Concept
We build a functional, isolated prototype in 2-3 weeks to validate the integration logic, transaction flow, and fee economics. This low-risk phase provides concrete data for stakeholder buy-in and technical validation before major commitment.
Iterative Development & Testing
We develop the integration in modular sprints with continuous integration. Each module undergoes unit testing, integration testing with LND/c-lightning nodes, and simulated load testing to handle high-volume micropayment bursts.
Production Deployment & Monitoring
We manage the staged rollout to your production environment with comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and failover procedures. We provide 24/7 support during the go-live period and detailed documentation for your ops team.
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the foundation of your Web3 product. Our development process is built on security-first principles using Solidity 0.8+, OpenZeppelin libraries, and comprehensive audit trails.
From tokenization to complex DeFi logic, we deliver contracts that are gas-optimized, upgradeable, and secure by design.
- Custom Token Standards:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and bespoke implementations with minting, vesting, and governance modules. - DeFi & dApp Logic: Automated market makers (AMMs), staking pools, lending protocols, and multi-signature wallets.
- Security & Compliance: Pre-deployment audits, formal verification where applicable, and integration with monitoring tools like
TenderlyandForta. - Full Lifecycle Support: Development, testing on
Hardhat/Foundry, deployment to mainnet, and post-launch maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions on Lightning Integration
Get clear answers on timelines, costs, and technical specifics for integrating your legacy payment system with the Lightning Network.
A standard integration project takes 3-6 weeks from kickoff to production launch. This includes 1-2 weeks for architecture design and API mapping, 2-3 weeks for core development and integration, and 1 week for testing, security review, and deployment. Complex enterprise systems with multiple legacy endpoints may require 8+ weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones during the initial technical assessment.
