🔥 Last call for the JAN3 deal. Details below 🔥

We’re very excited to present this latest deal for JAN3. Founded in 2022 by Samson Mow, a prominent figure in the Bitcoin community, JAN3 is on a mission to accelerate global hyperbitcoinization through its nation-state advisory services and the development of AQUA, a comprehensive Bitcoin and Liquid wallet with native stablecoin support.

JAN3 has the right team and technology to make it possible.

JAN3 is a Bitcoin technology company focused on expanding access to Bitcoin and financial freedom worldwide. We provide tools for individuals, enterprises, and nation-states to benefit from a free and open financial system based on Bitcoin.

• Nation-State Advisory

  JAN3 advises governments to enable Bitcoin adoption

  

  The value of a country adopting Bitcoin is immeasurable.

It supports Bitcoin, Layer 2, Tether USDt, asset swaps, onramps, and more. AQUA streamlines access to the Lightning Network without needing to run nodes or manage channels. Inbound Lightning payments automatically convert to Liquid Bitcoin for an elegant Bitcoin experience.

• Low Fees, Non-Custodial, No Channel Management, No Node Required

  A financial app store tailored with regional services, where everyday users will be able to access: spending, debit cards, lending, borrowing, buying, selling, swapping, remittances, gift cards, insurance, and other products

JAN3’s influence extends to five nations actively engaged in Bitcoin adoption efforts, including El Salvador, Suriname, Colombia, Montenegro, and Indonesia. As a key advisor to El Salvador, JAN3 supports initiatives like the Bitcoin City project and Bitcoin-backed bond programs. The company is also in discussions with Argentina following the election of Bitcoin-friendly leadership, with early-stage engagements ongoing in other regions.

Looking ahead, JAN3 plans to expand AQUA Wallet into more LATAM countries and other regions, with upcoming integrations in Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Europe, and the US.

AQUA’s roadmap includes new features for marketplace lending and insurance, while JAN3 continues to lead nation-state engagements and further embrace innovation with Lightning and Liquid infrastructure.

Bitcoin Bonds: JAN3 introduces innovative financial products like Bitcoin bonds, providing new ways for nation-states and cities to raise capital, boost infrastructure investment, and reduce long-term liabilities.

JAN3 Financial: Offering secure and personalized services for buying, selling, and storing Bitcoin, JAN3 Financial caters to nation-states, companies, and high-net-worth individuals. Low fees and worldwide service ensure that clients can take control of their financial future.

With the Bitcoin market projected to reach 1 billion users by 2028, JAN3 is well-positioned for substantial growth, making this a remarkable opportunity for investors to support its vision and growth trajectory. We are excited to bring this opportunity to our Lightning⚡️Ventures network to double down on JAN3 and back them as they continue to perform at the highest level.
