The company intends to open channels for up to 30 days with a capacity from 300 000 to 16 000 000 Satoshi.
Thus, all the technical work on the opening and support of the channel will occur on the side Bitrefill.
Note that the service can be paid with bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, DASH or through the Lightning-payment.
Previously CEO Bitrefill Sergey Kotlyar said that the Lightning Network can help the network of bitcoin grow 10-100 times, however it still cannot be considered a final solution to the problem of scaling.
