Bitcoin Financial Platform Lava Introduces Exchange and Secure Payment Features
In a groundbreaking move, Lava has unveiled two new financial products, Lava Free Pay and Lava Exchange, which are set to revolutionize the way digital dollars and Bitcoin are accessed and handled. CEO Shezhan Maredia shared exclusive insights with Bitcoin Magazine, shedding light on the features and potential of these offerings, with a focus on transforming the mobile self-custodial experience.
Lava Free Pay: Empowering Global Payments
While the concept of digital dollars has promised seamless global payments, Maredia asserts that the current user experience is lacking. He points out the cumbersome process of having to purchase volatile VenmoBucks and paying transaction fees in this very same currency when making transactions on Venmo. Lava aims to address these issues by providing Bitcoin users with direct access to stablecoins, eliminating unnecessary complexities and reducing friction in the payment process.
Lava Free Pay serves as a trustless broadcasting service, offering users the best stablecoin integration within any Bitcoin wallet available today. By revolutionizing the seamless, free, and global payment landscape, Lava strives to make digital dollars practical and easily accessible for everyday use. Maredia also emphasizes the company’s plans to support multiple networks in the future, enabling users to make payments across various platforms seamlessly.
Lava Exchange: Simplifying Self-Custody Asset Management
Navigating the world of Bitcoin and digital assets can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to finding the most favorable exchange rates and lowest fees. Lava Exchange addresses this challenge by allowing users to buy assets directly into self-custody and withdraw funds to their bank accounts with minimal fees.
Maredia explains that the team considered various options but ultimately decided to develop their own exchange aggregator. Leveraging location and market data, Lava facilitates connections to exchanges offering the best rates and lowest fees for desired transactions. With these services directly integrated into the Lava Vault, users can seamlessly acquire Bitcoin without unnecessary steps.
Maredia emphasizes Lava’s commitment to providing users with the best tools for saving Bitcoin and spending dollars, catering to those leading a Bitcoin-centric lifestyle. Underlying Lava’s operations is the state-of-the-art Lava Smart Key, a self-custody solution that Maredia believes is the most secure mobile key custody system available today.
Looking ahead, Lava plans to release additional products and is already preparing for the launch of its highly anticipated trustless Bitcoin smart contracts for loans. To get started, users can download the Lava Vault from the App Store on iOS or Android or visit lava.xyz.
