CoinCorner releases Bolt Card, a contactless NFC card

CoinCorner has announced The Bolt Card – a contactless, near-field-communication (NFC) card powered by Lightning.

The Bolt Card allows users to simply tap any Lightning-enabled point-of-sale (POS) creating an almost instantaneous transaction processed through the Lightning Network in seconds.

The process is similar to the tap function of a Visa or Mastercard, without the settlement delays, processing fees, or centralized entities.

At launch, The Bolt Card is compatible with Lightning and LNURL protocols while supporting CoinCorner and BTCPay Server gateways and will soon be compatible with IBEX Mercado, LNBits, and FastBitcoins.
