In March 2023, Silicon Valley Bank collapsed.
Amboss didn’t bank there—but our payroll provider did.
Half a payroll vanished overnight.
They told us: "You'll need to resend the funds."
That moment revealed a few (very personal) stark truths about traditional banking:
1. You don’t control your money. Even if your bank survives, their partner’s might not.
2. Diversifying banks isn’t enough. Hidden counter-parties = hidden risk.
3. Their reserve requirement is 0%. Your balance is an IOU backed by nothing.
4. Bitcoin and Lightning are your answer. No trust required.
That’s why we’re building Amboss.
To create financial sovereignty—and convenience—at scale.

This is a special type of yield because it doesn't require sacrificing bitcoin custody...you can earn from the payment utility of bitcoin.

See the historical yields here:
This simulation uses crowdsourced and randomized data to show how decentralized and performant the lightning is for users from hobbyists to enterprises.
Slices of the top network nodes are based on network nodes public capacity.
To create this max flow report, sources and destinations are selected randomly to perform exhaustive multipath payments.
The resulting performance for the entire network is an extremely conservative metric to motivate highly decentralized and efficient payments.
