For developers

One API, settled in seconds.

Lightning in, local currency out

Accept sats and settle into DJF, SOS, KES or USD — or keep sats. Your choice per merchant.

Webhooks for everything

Created, paid, settled, failed. Signed, retried, idempotent.

Built for reconciliation

Every payment carries a reference, a settlement record and an export your accountant can read.
