Branta's payment verification and Amboss' compliance tools give businesses a robust solution to mitigate risks from sophisticated attackers, setting a new standard for business operational security in the Bitcoin and Lightning Network ecosystems. 

Branta, a provider of advanced payment verification for Bitcoin and Lightning, announces its partnership with Amboss, a leading provider of payment operations solutions for the Bitcoin Lightning Network, to bring an industry-first risk management solution for irreversible Bitcoin transactions. By integrating Branta's payment verification with Amboss' compliance tools, businesses now have a robust solution to mitigate fraud risks or illegal transactions, setting a new standard for professional operations in the Bitcoin and Lightning Network ecosystems. 

The Bybit hack, which saw nearly $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency stolen in February 2025, has heightened concerns around vulnerabilities in routine transfers, showing how sophisticated attacks can bypass commonplace security measures. This breach undermined complex security measures, leaving exchanges, vaults, and payment providers with concerns that similar manipulations could redirect funds to hackers, leaving little recourse due to the irreversible nature of the transactions. 

In response, Branta and Amboss have joined forces to provide businesses with a comprehensive solution that mitigates risks, enhances trust, and sets a new standard for the industry. This combination of payment solutions works to provide peace of mind for users, empowering platforms with seamless protection against both client-side and server-side exploits.

Jesse Shrader, CEO & Co-Founder of Amboss, said "Protecting against sophisticated cyber attacks is essential for digital payments, especially with irreversible payments like Bitcoin. Our collaboration with Branta enables a safer and more efficient future without fraud and compliance risks." "Our collaboration with Amboss is a direct response to the growing need for robust risk management solutions in the Bitcoin and Lightning ecosystems. We're committed to providing businesses with the tools they need to navigate what can be a daunting & complex landscape," said Keith Gardner, Founder and CEO of Branta. "By combining Branta's real-time payment verification with Amboss' cutting-edge AML and OFAC compliance tools, we're empowering enterprises to transact with confidence, security, and transparency seamlessly —setting a new standard for professional operations in the industry."
