Satlantis has rolled out an events and ticketing platform that implants Bitcoin Lightning Network wallets right into user accounts and individual events. This allows organisers to issue tickets and accumulate Bitcoin payments without tracking traditional payment processors.
The platform works likewise to services such as Eventbrite and Luma, providing ticket tiers, attendee management, and event pages. Every event on the platform usually gets a unique Bitcoin wallet, permitting organisers to accept payments and extract funds directly in Bitcoin.
Satlantis has also amalgamated with Stripe to operate fiat payments and has said it plans to add stablecoin support, providing organisers the capability to accept Bitcoin, traditional currency, or both via a single dashboard.
The firm mentioned its model is made to suppress ticketing fees and widen payment access in areas where conventional payment infrastructure is finite. The Lightning Network permits reduced-cost quick transactions by processing payments off-chain instead of settling every transaction directly on the Bitcoin base layer.

As per the firm’s crowdfunding page, investors in Satlantis comprise Bitcoin Opportunity Fund and Timechain Capital, a venture capital fund aimed at Bitcoin infrastructure projects.
