We started out by running a full L&D node for each customer. Obviously, that wasn't something that would be scalable or efficient long term. If you have to spin up an AWS pod for every single customer, if you have hundreds or millions of customers, that's obviously not going to scale well. So we started off taking that as we want to get something out on the market.

We want to be able to prove that we can actually simplify how Lightning works and make it so that customers can easily integrate. And from there, we'll be able to figure out how we scale better and actually make the right trade-offs later on. But we didn't want to overcomplicate things at the start until we actually felt like we had something that was going to be valuable. I'm Kevin Hurley.

At LightSpark, our goal is to really help customers move money more easily and efficiently. If you look at the payments rails that exist today, they're generally pretty antiquated. They have existed since the 60s and 70s, largely unchanged.

And what we want to do is take those antiquated payments rails and bring them to the modern day, bring them to the internet age where you can move money just like you move data packets on the internet.

Instead of payments that take days to settle, are super expensive, don't actually work on weekends and nights, we want to have real-time payments that actually work like they do in the modern day, or like they should in the modern day. And we're doing that by building on top of Bitcoin and the Lightning Network. A bunch of reasons for that.

A lot of us actually came from Facebook, where we were building Diem. Coming from there, we realized that you really need something truly neutral and decentralized as a settlement network for payments globally.
