PROVEN APPROACH
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.
01
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.

Aligned Framework
Zero-Trust
Core Principle
02
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.

CORE SERVICE
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.
