Introducing Lightning Loans: Borrow Bitcoin Instantly with Arkade Wallet
We're excited to announce a game-changing integration: $50 Lightning test loans exclusively through the Arkade wallet. This marks a significant milestone in making Bitcoin lending faster, cheaper, and more accessible than ever before.
Important Note
Lightning loans are currently only available through the Arkade wallet. This feature is not yet integrated into our web platform. A Lightning integration for our webapp is coming soon, powered by the ARK protocol.
What's New?โ
Starting today, you can borrow Bitcoin via the Lightning Network exclusively using the Arkade wallet. We're launching with $50 test loans so you can experience the future of Bitcoin lending firsthand.
This is a wallet-only feature - you'll need to download the Arkade wallet to access Lightning loans. Our standard web platform at borrow.lendasat.com continues to offer traditional on-chain loans.
Why This Mattersโ
Traditional Bitcoin loans require on-chain transactions, which means:
- Waiting for confirmations (10-60 minutes)
- Paying higher transaction fees
- Complex setup processes
With Lightning loans through Arkade:
- โก Instant disbursement - Receive funds in seconds
- ๐ฐ Lower fees - Minimal transaction costs
- ๐ Faster settlements - Repay instantly
- โจ Simpler UX - Borrow as easily as sending a payment
Launch Promotion: 30% OFFโ

We're starting with $50 test loans to ensure everything works perfectly before scaling up. This lets you:

- Provide feedback to improve the experience
Once you're comfortable, we'll expand to larger loan amounts with the same instant Lightning experience.
What's Next?โ
This is just phase one of our Lightning and ARK integration roadmap:
Phase 1 (Now): $50 test loans via Lightning through Arkade Phase 2 (Soon): Larger loan amounts up to $10,000 Phase 3 (Q1 2026): Full ARK protocol integration Phase 4 (Q2 2026): Multi-wallet support and advanced features
We're building this in public with our community. Your feedback on these test loans will shape the future of Bitcoin lending.
