According to official news, Lightspark, a startup owned by former PayPal President David Marcus, announced the launch of an enterprise-grade end-to-end solution for universal currency addresses (UMA). UMA combines human-readable Lightning Network addresses with enhanced messaging and integrates with Lightning Network’s real-time global payment rails to make sending money as easy as sending an email. This solution is open source and available for anyone to use.
In this regard, Bakkt stated that it has become one of the first partners of Lightspark and plans to provide UMA for B2B customers' KYC verification transactions on the Lightning Network.
