The products were created and are supported by Bitfury’s Lightning Network engineering and research team, called “Lightning Peach.”
Bitfury’s node will let “Bitcoin users open or create their own payment channels on the Lightning Network.”

The group claim that “the Peach Terminal is a fast and secure way to process payments while protecting customers’ personal information.”
