Blockchain-based firm Bitfury has released a set of tools aimed at improving the adoption rates of Bitcoin’s lightning network.
This Wednesday, Bitfury announced a detailed list of products that will support the technology, which is still under development. On this list was an open-source lightning wallet as well as hardware and software tools for merchants, including payment processors to accept payments.
The company also released developer tools and a public node called “The Preach”, which lets Bitcoin users create payment channels. This software bundle is designed with the sole purpose of making the lightning network easier to use.

“By providing these products to the market, Bitfury is encouraging worldwide adoption of this technology and providing unparalleled support to consumers and merchants.”
