AFRICA FREE ROUTING NODE

We are non-profit Bitcoin lightning node operated by African Bitcoiners aimed at putting Africa firmly on the lightning payments map. All proceeds from the running of our node will go towards Bitcoin education in Africa.

We want to make payments as close to free as possible for Africans, so we are a free routing node. We earn our keep by charging a small fee to provide inbound liquidity to other nodes (hopefully also in Africa!). We are only a few weeks old and still in “pre-launch” (because we aren’t even actually hosted in Africa yet!).

We have been kindly sponsored by the amazing lightning infrastructure provider, Voltage, who also recognize the need for the lightning network to have a strong node presence in Africa.

Currently, we are building out our network of relationships and channels and Voltage are building out their local technical infrastructure. Before the end of 2022, we will then migrate with Voltage to an African-hosted facility.

In the meantime, please support us, connect with us and tell people about us.
The Lightning Network will help Bitcoin break free in Africa.
