Photon Labs is a Bitcoin-first application layer focused on scaling a new Bitcoin economy.
Our mission is to activate a flywheel economy by extending Bitcoin’s reach and utility through a performant domain for user engagement and robust dApp development, tapping into the dormant potential of ~15.4M illiquid Bitcoin.
We provide crypto-native infrastructure and solutions for Bitcoin users and the Photon ecosystem that are scalable, transparent/trust-minimized, and composable across DeFi & CeFi. These solutions, driven by $PTON economic initiatives, empower developers and users to create a thriving ecosystem of Bitcoin-focused applications or use cases.
Join now! This is just the beginning of our journey.
We are giving away 25m $PTON tokens for early supporters.
