Unocoin, India’s pioneering Bitcoin platform, has entered a strategic partnership with Lightspark to introduce real-time Bitcoin transactions powered by the Lightning Network. This collaboration represents a critical advancement in India’s digital asset space—delivering speed, affordability, and seamlessness to everyday Bitcoin payments.
Ushering in the Next Phase of Bitcoin Utility
Since its inception in 2013, Unocoin has focused on making Bitcoin accessible to millions of Indian users. With over 2.2 million customers and a decade-long track record, the platform is now expanding its utility beyond investment and trading. By integrating the Bitcoin Lightning Network through Lightspark’s robust infrastructure, Unocoin is enabling a new class of financial experiences built on Bitcoin: instant, always-on, low-cost payments.
The Lightning Network, a second-layer protocol built atop Bitcoin’s blockchain, allows for near-instantaneous transactions by processing them off-chain before settling on-chain. This drastically reduces transaction fees and confirmation times, making Bitcoin practical for micro-transactions, daily retail use, and cross-border payments.
Why Lightning, Why Now
India is witnessing a sharp rise in crypto adoption, with users increasingly looking for real-world applications beyond speculation. The ability to send and receive Bitcoin in real time addresses a long-standing limitation of the Bitcoin base layer. Whether for remittances, merchant payments, freelance gigs, or small-value peer transfers, the Lightning Network makes Bitcoin behave like digital cash, without delays or high costs.
Unocoin’s move to leverage Lightspark’s infrastructure ensures enterprise-grade performance with seamless integration, compliance capabilities, and advanced liquidity management. Lightspark’s full-stack platform also simplifies technical operations, allowing Unocoin to focus on delivering exceptional experiences to its users.
Transforming Payments Across Use Cases
This partnership opens up a wide range of possibilities:
- Retail & E-commerce: Merchants can now accept fast, final Bitcoin payments with minimal overhead.
- Cross-Border Transfers: Sending Bitcoin from India to other countries becomes near-instant, making remittances smoother and cheaper.
- Content & Gaming Economies: Lightning unlocks real-time tipping, pay-per-use models, and micro-rewards in digital ecosystems.
- Developer Ecosystem: Developers building on Unocoin’s infrastructure will benefit from Lightning capabilities, unlocking next-gen apps and use cases.
Building the Future of Open Payments
Bitcoin has long been regarded as a store of value and a hedge against inflation. With Lightning integration, it becomes equally viable as a medium of exchange, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with decentralised finance in India.
This partnership is not just about adopting new technology—it’s about redefining how money moves in a digital-first economy. It signals Unocoin’s commitment to leading innovation responsibly, backed by partners like Lightspark, who are building the internet’s foundational money protocol.
The future of payments in India is here. It’s global, real-time, and powered by Bitcoin
