Chipper Cash now routes more than half of its Bitcoin transactions over the Lightning Network, representing a major real-world Lightning deployment. The firm leverages Voltage’s infrastructure to provide faster, cheaper, and more reliable payments for millions of consumers and businesses across Africa. Lightning adoption supports Chipper Cash’s broader services, including cross-border payments, Visa virtual cards, stock investing, and stablecoin rails. The company evolved from a 2018 peer-to-peer remittance startup into a licensed fintech, and Lightning has become central to scale and resilience in markets where fiat partners frequently face outages and delays.
