PB PPP Week 2: Integrating APIs and Lightning

We're off to an exciting start this week as my team and I would be proceeding to consume the user onboarding APIs we developed last week for both our web and mobile application. We would also proceed with integrating our platform with Lightning to enable users to create a wallet and make and receive payments.

We are currently exploring the use of Voltage to manage Lightning transactions for our users (thanks to Ed and the Bolt.fun team for helping us secure this partnership)

To-Dos 🤌🏼

  • Consume onboarding APIs for web and mobile application

  • Integrate Lightning for payments

  • Research other technologies we can integrate to improve our social payments offering for young Africans

  • Improve UI/UX of mobile application

Achievements 🎖️

Issues 🤔

  • We are still looking for more alternatives to running Lightning and Bitcoin as we would like to test out many options and choose the best one.

  • We're also looking to integrate with Fedimint as our platform is based on the idea of building a social community of young people across Africa and we believe Fedimint provides the opportunity to build that.

Happy Hacking ✌🏼
