[:ja]awabar fukuokaでBitcoinのLightning Network決済サービスを実施しております[:en]Nayuta Inc. launches a field trial to explore the usability of the payment system for Bitcoin with Lightning Network at Awabar Fukuoka from May 31st.[:]

[:ja]株式会社Nayutaは、明星和楽を発端として、福岡市のスタートアップ支援施設「Fukuoka Growth Next(以下、fgn.)」で実証実験を行います。

Bitcoinの2nd Layer技術「Lightning Network」を用いたリアルタイム決済を、fgn.内 awabar fukuokaで5月31日から6月30日の一か月間、 試験導入します。

Lightning Network決済には、オープンソースで開発されている決済サービスBTCPay Serverとbitcoind、ならびにNayutaが中心となって開発したLightning NetworkソフトウェアPtarmiganを使用しています。

株式会社Nayutaについて

2015年3月に設立。パブリックブロックチェーンの2nd Layer技術を中心とした開発を行う。Lightning Networkのコントリビュータとしてグローバルなコミュニティで活動。また、2nd Layer技術を使用したアプリケーションを事業会社と共同で開発も行う。

今後、Ptarmiganは小型なハードウェアで動作するノードに特化し、他の実装と組み合わせたシステムを開発していく予定です。

LApps開発、LApps開発用ソフトウェア、仮想通貨交換業Lightning Networkアダプション、Lightning Network上のトークンペイメントソフトウェアの開発を実施・検討しております。

今回の試験導入では、NayutaがNodeとChannelの管理・Lightning Network決済に必要な流動性の提供、及び決済フローの導入支援を行います。

Bitcoinユーザーならびに潜在的ユーザーは実店舗で、将来の決済手段となりうるLightning Networkの即時決済サービスを体験していただけます。

Lightning Network決済のデモ動画をこちらからご覧いただけます。

Lightning Networkとは

Lightning Networkは、Bitcoinの2nd Layer技術であり、実質的なリアルタイム決済、高TPS(Transaction per Second)、低手数料が可能になります。

特に極少額のマイクロペイメントも可能になり、新しいマーケットを切り開く可能性があります。

awabar fukuokaからのコメント

技術力だけではなく、コミュニティへも貢献度の高い取り組みをされているNayuta様からお声がけされたことを我々としても嬉しく思い、試験導入を決めさせていただきました。

微々たるものですが、Lightning Network決済サービスの普及へと繋がりますと幸いです。

 

Lightning Negworkを用いた決済、気になる方はこの機会にぜひ体験ください![:en]Nayuta Inc., hereinafter Nayuta, (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Fukuoka, Japan; CEO: Kenichi Kurimoto)
kicks off the field experiment at Myojowaraku (location: Chuo-ku, Fukuoka), followed by Fukuoka
Growth Next, hereinafter “fgn.,” (location: Chuo-ku, Fukuoka), a start-up support facility
empowered by the city of Fukuoka.

Nayuta will install the real-time payment system using “Lightning Network,” the second-layer technology of Bitcoin, on a trial basis, at Awabar Fukuoka located within fgn. for a month from May 31st to June 30th.

On the Lightning Network payment system, Nayuta uses BTCPay Server, a payment service
developed as an open source, bitcoind, and Ptarmigan, a Lightning Network software for which
Nayuta served a central development role.

Nayuta will provide support in the following areas:
management of Node and Channel, provision of the liquidity required for the Lightning Network
payment, and introduction of the payment flow.

The opportunity provides Bitcoin users and potential users with hands-on experience of real-time
payment service by Lightning Network, possibly the next payment solution in the future.

About Lightning Network

Lightning Network is a second-layer technology of Bitcoin. The technology enables several features,
such as the real-time payments with lower transaction fees while achieving high TPS (Transactions
per seconds) performance. Especially noteworthy is its micropayment (minute amount) capability
with the potential to cultivate new markets.

A comment from Awabar Fukuoka

We have acknowledged Nayuta for their high level of contribution to technology as well as our
community. So, we were delighted when Nayuta first contacted us with their offer and we naturally
agreed to the experimental launch. The role we play in this field experiment is rather small, but we
hope it helps familiarize the community with the Lightning Network payment system.

About Nayuta

Since its establishment in March 2015, Nayuta has worked to develop technologies primarily on the
second-layer technology of public blockchain.

The company has engaged in the global community as an active contributor to Lightning Network, as well as contributed to the development of an application utilizing the second-layer technology in collaboration with business companies.

In the days ahead, Nayuta plans to specialize Ptarmigan capabilities in nodes that operate on small
hardware and develop systems to combine the software and other implementations.

Currently under development or development consideration, are LApps, LApps development software, Lightning Network Adoption for cryptocurrency exchange service, and token payment software for the
Lightning Network.
