The old prestige pyramid—where Ivy League degrees and blue-chip consulting backgrounds paved the way to the CEO seat—is cracking.
Lightspark, a Bitcoin Lightning network-based business payments service, has supported the new Universal Money Address (UMA) standard. The standard was launched last week and is touted as an extension of LNURL, a protocol designed to simplify the payment process.
Lightspark believes that UMA has the potential to revolutionize global payments by making them as easy as sending an email. The standard facilitates real-time settlement while incorporating compliance messaging and foreign exchange capabilities for fiat currencies.
According to UMA’s documentation, the standard’s operation is delineated into four key steps:
Lightspark believes that UMA’s simplicity and ease of use will make it appealing to businesses of all sizes. The company is optimistic that the standard will help to drive the adoption of the Bitcoin Lightning network and make global payments more efficient and accessible.
The UMA standard is a promising development for the Bitcoin Lightning network. It can make Lightning payments even easier and more convenient for users. This could lead to increased adoption of Lightning and make it a more viable option for everyday payments.
Lightspark’s support for UMA is significant. The company is a leading provider of Lightning-based business payments services. Its support for the standard could accelerate its adoption by businesses.
The UMA standard is still in its early stages of development, but it can potentially have a major impact on the global payments landscape. It is worth watching how the standard evolves and how users and businesses adopt it.
