Description

lipa offers a self-custodial Bitcoin wallet that operates on the Lightning Network, giving users full control over their funds with self-generated private keys. The wallet's key features include an integrated BTC map to find merchants accepting Bitcoin, the ability to buy Bitcoin directly within the app (with a 1.5% fee), and NFC support for contactless payments. The platform emphasizes privacy, stating it does not know the source or destination of payments, though it utilizes Blockstream's Greenlight infrastructure. For businesses, lipa provides a Point of Sale (POS) solution with no fixed costs and a transparent 0.98% transaction fee. This system allows employees to create invoices without accessing the main wallet, is compatible with all Bitcoin wallets, and includes a dashboard for transaction overview and accounting data export.
