Strike plans to Connect Bitcoin’s Lightning Payments to Bank Accounts

News • 2020/07/06 • by Remitano

The Lightning Network (LN) used to be one of the most hyped scalability solutions for Bitcoin. It even successfully stole the attention of Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey. However, as time goes by, not many entities have adopted Lightning Network due to its complexity and other hurdles. And then, there’s Strike app, which envisions Lightning Network adoptions by connecting the LN with a bank account or a debit card.

Strike app has launched its beta phase that allows direct interaction with the LN without exposing users’ wallet and channels. They also claim that the KYC procedures in Strike app are not as thorough as other usual crypto applications. They want to keep the KYC process minimum while still being compliant at the same time.

In the future, Strike promises to be able to connect users Bitcoin LN payments through their debit card or even bank accounts - to minimize hurdles and learning curves for new users. The developer, Jack Mallers, stated that Bitcoin should be able to reach wider adoption this way.

Strike also offers a social media profile that allows individuals all around the world to receive payments via the widely-adopted QR code. The payments that are received will be spontaneously converted into local fiat currencies.
