Strike is the popular no-fee application that allows users to transact on Bitcoin's Layer 2 Lightning Network. Zap offers a simple, fast, and secure way to buy Bitcoin and send money anywhere in the world. The global Bitcoin app leverages the power of Bitcoin and the Lightning Network to deliver a smooth, secure, and cost-effective experience that has been redesigned from the ground up. The app is designed to empower people who face social and economic adversity including hyperinflation, unstable local currencies, and lack of access to fundamental financial services. Strike is available in nearly 100 countries, including the U.S., Europe, Latin America, and Africa.
