🔥 Last call for the JAN3 deal 🔥

If you haven’t allocated a position to this deal yet, this is your last chance to invest in the company vanguarding nation-state advisory services for governments around the world. JAN3 helps forward-thinking nations and their citizens achieve true sovereignty and prosperity through comprehensive Bitcoin adoption solutions.

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.

The JAN3 team works with a number of countries, autonomous regions, and special economic zones to implement tailored Bitcoin strategies designed to advance economic development and prosperity.

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.

JAN3 has the team and the tech to make it possible.

Aqua is an all-in-one wallet by JAN3 which 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.

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.
