通過LightSpark集成了比特幣的閃電網絡，以實現即時加密付款

Revolut與LightSpark合作，將比特幣的閃電網絡整合到英國用戶的支付基礎設施中，並選擇歐洲經濟區國家。

British neobank Revolut has integrated Bitcoin's Lightning Network into its payments infrastructure in partnership with Lightspark, aiming to offer users in the UK and select European Economic Area countries instant and low-cost crypto transactions.

英國Neobank Revolut與LightSpark合作將比特幣的閃電網絡納入了其支付基礎設施，旨在為英國提供用戶，並選擇歐洲經濟區國家即時和低成本的加密貨幣交易。

The integration, announced by the fintech company on Tuesday, will reportedly allow for faster and cheaper digital payments with lower network costs and transaction times.

金融科技公司週二宣布的集成據報導，據報導將允許更快，更便宜的數字付款，而網絡成本和交易時間較低。

The move taps into what Lightspark describes as the “open Money Grid,” a technology that connects various financial institutions and payment networks to process transactions more efficiently.

此舉攻入了LightSpark所說的“開放貨幣網格”，該技術將各種金融機構和支付網絡連接起來，以更有效地處理交易。

Emil Urmanshin, GM of Crypto at Revolut, noted that the integration aligns with the bank's broader goal of providing faster and more affordable financial services.

Revolut的加密貨幣總經理Emil Urmanshin指出，該集成與銀行提供更快，更實惠的金融服務的更廣泛目標相吻合。

The news comes shortly after Revolut unveiled its mobile crypto exchange app, Revolut X, for users in the U.K. and European Economic Area, enabling trading of over 400 crypto pairs and 220 tokens.

該消息發布後不久，Revolut推出了英國和歐洲經濟區用戶的移動加密交易所Revolut X，可實現超過400個加密貨幣對和220個令牌的交易。

The mobile rollout followed its earlier desktop launch and expanded the platform's reach after announcing plans for European growth in November 2024.

移動推出之後，此前台式機推出並在2024年11月宣佈歐洲增長計劃後擴大了該平台的範圍。

Lightning Network

閃電網絡

The Lightning Network, Bitcoin's Layer 2 protocol, is known for allowing scalable, real-time transactions and is increasingly being adopted by fintech platforms looking to expand their crypto payment capabilities.

Lightning網絡是比特幣的第2層協議，以允許可擴展的實時交易而聞名，並越來越多地被尋求擴展其加密付款能力的金融科技平台採用。

Lightspark's technology also supports Universal Money Address, which links email-like identifiers to wallet addresses, simplifying crypto payments for users.

LightSpark的技術還支​​持通用貨幣地址，該地址將類似電子郵件的標識符與錢包地址聯繫起來，從而簡化了用戶的加密付款。

"Together, we're weaving a Money Grid that's better, faster, and stronger," said Lightspark CEO David Marcus.

Lightspark首席執行官David Marcus說：“一起，我們編織了一個更好，更快，更強大的錢網格。”

"We're still in the early stages of a new Web3 era, and it's exciting to see institutions like Revolut leading the way with a vision for the future of money."

“我們仍處於新的Web3時代的早期階段，令人興奮的是，像Revolut這樣的機構以對貨幣的未來構想的願景帶領途徑。”

He added: "Imagine banking in the 1990s with dial-up compared to the 5G world we live in today. That's the difference between traditional bank systems and what we're building at Lightspark with the Money Grid and institutions like Revolut."

他補充說：“想像一下，與我們今天所生活的5G世界相比，1990年代的銀行業務與撥號相比。這就是傳統銀行系統與我們在Lightspark建立的貨幣網格和諸如Revolut這樣的機構的區別。”

Revolut joins a growing list of global fintechs turning to Lightning to improve user experience and efficiency. The integration highlights an ongoing shift toward real-time, borderless financial transactions—without the slow settlement times and high costs typically associated with blockchain payments.

Revolut加入了越來越多的全球金融科技列表，以提高用戶體驗和效率。該集成突出了持續向實時無邊界財務交易的轉變 - 沒有緩慢的和解時間和通常與區塊鏈支付相關的高成本。
