Apple imposes a 30% transaction fee on in-app purchases through their iOS platform and I'm using Bitcoin Lightning to solve this.
I integrated Bitcoin Lightning payments into Alignment Premium using our company website to silently accept payments and unlock premium for users outside of Apple's ecosystem.
No middleman
No toll booth
No platform tax
The result:
Instead of Apple taking a 30% cut, that value goes back to the user through a 30% discount on premium when paying in sats.
This is the future: Builders and users connected directly through an open network.
Excited to build on Nostr⚡
