Lightning Consulting For Corporations & HNWIs
If you’re a corporation or high-net-worth individual, and have questions, please start here: megalithic.me/contact.
Megalith is mission-driven to promote the Lightning Network as a practical tool for financial inclusion and financial fairness. You can read our documentation on the Lightning Network here.
Megalith provides senior-level consulting for corporations and high-net-worth individuals who want to deploy Bitcoin and Lightning with operational excellence, security discipline, and long-term maintainability.
Our work spans real routing-node operations, LSP design and deployment, production Lightning products, and practical experimentation with emerging Bitcoin-native protocols such as Taproot Assets.
Who we work with
- Corporations building Bitcoin / Lightning payment acceptance, payouts, treasury workflows, or new Lightning-enabled products.
- High-net-worth individuals and family offices seeking private, self-custodial capabilities and hardened operational practices.
We are comfortable working under NDA and within strict confidentiality requirements.
Why organizations bring us in
Teams typically reach out when they need one (or more) of the following:
- A production-grade Lightning design that won’t collapse under real liquidity and reliability constraints.
- A clear plan for operating nodes as infrastructure (monitoring, incident response, change management).
- Standards-based onboarding and wallet/LSP interoperability (rather than vendor lock-in).
- Security and governance appropriate for serious balances and reputational risk.
Core engagements
Lightning payments architecture and integration
We help you go from “prototype” to “production”:
- End-to-end architecture (nodes, services, data flows, observability)
- Payment flows: receiving, sending, refunds, payouts, reconciliation
- Reliability planning: redundancy, monitoring, alerting, runbooks, incident response
- Integration guidance across major node stacks (LND, Core Lightning, LDK / LDK Node)
Liquidity strategy, channel operations, and routing
Liquidity is not a set-and-forget problem. We help you design a strategy that matches your business model and risk tolerance:
- Channel strategy: sizing, counterparty selection, topology (public vs private)
- Inbound/outbound liquidity planning, rebalancing approaches, fee strategy
- Routing-node operations (when appropriate), including performance and privacy considerations
LSP design and wallet onboarding
If you are building a wallet or onboarding flow that needs “instant usability,” we advise on:
- LSP architecture and liquidity provisioning strategy
- Implementing or integrating LSPS1 and LSPS2 (including JIT channel workflows)
- Failure modes and threat modeling (HTLC behavior, zero-conf assumptions, griefing vectors)
- Migration plans from pilots to mainnet operations

Security, governance, and operational hardening
For corporations and HNWIs, the difference between “works” and “safe” is governance:
- Threat modeling and operational security practices for hot systems (Lightning) and cold systems (Bitcoin)
- Access control and key-handling policies
- Vendor and custody-model reviews (self-custody vs third-party), including implementation constraints
We do not provide legal, tax, or investment advice. We can coordinate with your counsel and internal teams so that technical decisions align with your compliance and reporting requirements.
