The origin story

In 2020, Galoy founder Nicolas Burtey learned about efforts in Bitcoin Beach to build a circular Bitcoin economy. He reached out to Mike Peterson and team to work together on a Lightning wallet he was building. Within months, "Bitcoin Beach Wallet" was launched with the input of local merchants and individuals.

Now, we have renamed the wallet to Blink and are continuing to build with communities worldwide!
