Privacy-Focused Lightning Service Development

Privacy-by-design signals a commitment to user sovereignty, a critical factor for adoption in DeFi and payment applications. We implement features like unlinkable invoices and sender anonymity to build a loyal user base that values financial privacy.

Proactive privacy architecture provides a stronger foundation for navigating evolving financial regulations. Our approach focuses on data minimization and on-chain obfuscation, helping you implement compliant KYC/AML at the application layer without exposing all transaction graphs.

In a crowded payments landscape, robust privacy features are a powerful differentiator. We help you launch services with unique selling propositions like confidential streaming payments or shielded enterprise settlements, capturing market segments underserved by transparent ledgers.

Protect your users and your liquidity from predatory MEV and surveillance. Our implementations leverage Lightning's onion routing and custom contract logic to obscure payment flows, significantly mitigating the risk of transaction front-running and predatory trading.

Building with privacy primitives today prepares your infrastructure for tomorrow's advancements. Our service integrates with protocols like Taproot and anticipates upgrades like PTLCs, ensuring your node implementation remains compatible with the next generation of Bitcoin and Lightning privacy features.

A systematically private design reduces your operational attack surface and simplifies security audits. We deliver documented architectures, clear data flow diagrams, and verifiable privacy properties, making it easier to achieve security certifications and pass rigorous third-party audits.

We begin with a comprehensive security assessment, mapping data flows and identifying privacy risks specific to your use case. This includes defining LN node topology, data encryption requirements, and compliance with regulations like GDPR for on-chain footprint minimization.

Deployment of hardened LND or Core Lightning nodes with privacy-centric configurations. Includes Tor/V2 onion service integration for anonymous networking, watchtower setup for security, and custom plugin development for unique liquidity or routing logic.

Build the application logic layer—wallets, custodial/non-custodial interfaces, or merchant APIs—that interacts with your Lightning nodes. We implement CoinSwap techniques, PTLCs (Point Time-Locked Contracts), and other privacy-preserving payment protocols as required.

Seamless integration with your existing stack (exchanges, custodians, fiat ramps). We conduct end-to-end testing in a staging environment mirroring mainnet, including liquidity stress tests, failure recovery simulations, and privacy leak audits.

Final review by our internal security team, focusing on channel management, key storage, and transaction privacy. We provide a hardening guide and can facilitate third-party audits with firms like Trail of Bits or Kudelski Security before mainnet launch.

Managed mainnet deployment with 99.9% uptime SLA for node infrastructure. We provide 24/7 monitoring, liquidity management support, and regular privacy protocol updates (e.g., Taproot adoption, dual-funded channels). Includes detailed runbooks for your team.
