Lightning Network
Payments · Bitcoin
Lightning Network can make Bitcoin payments faster and cheaper by routing them through payment channels instead of settling each payment on-chain. It is a protocol, not a single wallet or service, so your experience and costs depend on the wallet and route you use.

Speed Markets
Payments · Bitcoin
Speed is a business-focused Bitcoin and stablecoin payment gateway, not a consumer trading app. Its advertised 1% transaction fee is a useful starting point, but get full pricing and custody terms before routing payments through it.
