Welcome back to Blockstream Talk. Today, we're speaking with Adam Bilican, CTO, and co-founder of Relai, a platform that enables anyone in Europe to buy and sell Bitcoin within minutes. No need for registration, verification, or deposits. Relai recently began supporting Lightning Network payments via an integration with Blockstream's Greenlight solution. Meaning that Relai didn't need to build or maintain bespoke lightning infrastructure to offer non-custodial Lightning Network services to its hundreds of thousands of users. We talked quite a bit about the process and the benefits as well as the challenges, and what's in the pipeline for Relai in the coming months. As usual, if you found the conversation useful, don't forget to subscribe, and share.
