How It Works
Setup
Choose the path that matches what backs your Voltage Payments wallets. Both paths use the shared Payments API and Developer Guide.
Credit-backed
Section titled “Credit-backed”Choose Credit-backed when Voltage provides the line of credit that backs Payments wallets and your team does not operate the underlying Lightning node.
Node-backed
Section titled “Node-backed”Choose Node-backed when your organization controls the Lightning node and reserve beneath the Payments API. This path adds node credentials, backups, liquidity, monitoring, and treasury responsibilities.
Development wallet selection
Section titled “Development wallet selection”Choose the Development wallet that matches what you are testing:
- Mutinynet Bitcoin: Bitcoin-backed implementations, including both Node-backed Bitcoin and Credit-backed Bitcoin.
- Mutinynet USD: USD line-of-credit testing. Payments move over Bitcoin or Lightning while the wallet is denominated in USD.
- Voltage Cash: An experimental stablecoin test wallet. It is not currently live because the intended Tether-backed asset has not yet been minted.
Use Wallet Setup Guide and Staging Environment for the complete selection and testing workflow.
Shared next steps
Section titled “Shared next steps”Use the Staging Environment, Developer Guide, Voltage Payments API, and Security section after choosing your path.
