Running a Lightning node in production is not the hard part. Keeping it up, keeping it funded, and keeping channels balanced at four in the morning is the hard part, and that is the job Voltage sells.
The operating entity named in its terms of service and privacy policy is Voltage Incorporated, at 1400 Terradyne Drive in Andover, Kansas. A separate entity, Voltage Credit, LLC, is a licensed commercial lender, NMLS ID 2676234 and California Financing Law licence 60DBO-206268, which is how the company offers credit lines against payment volume. Its site carries a copyright notice running from 2020, but no founding date is stated anywhere on it, so none is recorded here. Graham Krizek is named on the company's own blog as CEO and founder.
The product is hosted Lightning: nodes, liquidity, an API for sending and receiving, and settlement in dollars at the edges. The customers it names are exchanges, neo-banks, payment service providers, digital wallets and iGaming operators, and it publishes customer accounts including Chipper Cash and a BitGo integration announced in December 2025 that offers Lightning from qualified custody. In February 2026 the company reported what it described as the first publicly reported $1M Lightning transaction, settling in 0.47 seconds, which is worth reading as a demonstration by an interested party rather than as an independent measurement. In July 2026 it announced it is sunsetting its self-serve product to concentrate on enterprise customers.
The tradeoff is the one that comes with all hosted infrastructure and should be said out loud. A node someone else operates is a node someone else can be compelled about, and the whole point of running your own is that nobody stands between you and the network. Voltage is a reasonable answer for a business that has decided it does not want to be a node operator. It is not an answer to self-custody, and it does not claim to be.
