THE SOVEREIGN PRINCIPLE
⚿
Guidance, without
giving up the keys.
Your recovery material belongs to you. Any support access should be clearly agreed, limited and understood.
03 / Independence by design
Own the rails.
Keep the control.
Accept payments directly, with fewer intermediaries between your business and your bitcoin.
Self custodyYour business controls its wallet and keys.
No card network feesBitcoin transaction costs, Lightning routing costs, liquidity and service charges can still apply.
No bank chargebacksBitcoin payments cannot be reversed by a bank. Refunds and consumer obligations still apply.
Privacy consciousNo identity check is built into the Bitcoin protocol. Requirements can vary by service and provider.
04 / A little more clarity
Before you
set sail.
Why do I need inbound liquidity?
To receive a Lightning payment, there needs to be enough balance on the other side of your channels to move towards you. Receiving capacity changes as payments move. We help plan and manage it; no single setup guarantees every payment will succeed.
Can I use a node I already own?
That can be the starting point. Your hardware, software, connectivity and existing channels need to be reviewed before a setup and support scope can be agreed.
Who controls my bitcoin?
You should retain control of your wallet keys and recovery material. Support access and permissions must be agreed explicitly. Self custody also means taking responsibility for backups and security.
Is this completely free to run?
No. There can be hardware, setup and support costs, as well as electricity, on-chain transaction fees, Lightning routing fees and liquidity costs. The goal is clear costs and control over your payment infrastructure.
Does this convert payments into pounds?
This service concept focuses on receiving bitcoin into your own wallet. Conversion into pounds would need a separate arrangement and may involve provider fees and identity checks.
