VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 30,
2024 /CNW/ - LQWD Technologies Corp., (TSXV:
LQWD) (OTC: LQWDF) a leading infrastructure and liquidity provider
for the Bitcoin Lightning Network, as well as a holder
of Bitcoin as an operational asset, announces the
milestone of surpassing over 325,000 in transaction routing volume
across the Company's global node network.
Since the initial launch of LQWD's first LN node in November 2021, routing transaction volume is
consistently achieving month-over-month organic growth at an
impressive rate, with the top performing nodes in Canada, USA,
Indonesia, France, and Germany.
A key factor that has attributed to LQWD's volume acceleration
is the collection of key data points and the implementation of AI
to improve performance. Since leveraging AI to optimize and
automate channel opening, LQWD's nodes have now connected to more
than 1,000 channels across the network, with the Company's
Canada node ranking amongst the
top seven of more than 14,000 reported nodes over the LN network.
Moreover, the Company's Canada
node hit record volume in December
2023 with nearly 35,000 transactions routed, which is a
substantial volume breakout that can be attributed to LQWD's AI
powered capabilities.
Shone Anstey, LQWD's CEO, commented "We are beginning to see a
network effect taking place with 1,200% growth in transactions over
the LN in the past two years as well as increasing interest and
funding from Venture Capital companies. Our team is very excited
and can foresee the opportunities for LQWD as the only
publicly traded Bitcoin Lightning Network pure play
within the rapidly growing eco-system. Furthermore, LQWD is
firmly established as a LN focussed company with a revenue
generating model in place to capture continued growth of the
network and the associated transaction fee revenue."
With the completion of the recent private placement, which was
fully subscribed predominately by existing shareholders and
directors, LQWD is well positioned for organic growth as well as
growth through acquisition.

About Lightning Network
Bitcoin Lightning Network is a payment layer
for the internet. LN leverages the power of Bitcoin's
supreme trust protocol, which facilitates instant peer-to-peer
transaction faster than any other payment rail. It is reported that
LN activity has increased by 1200% over the past two years with
participants such as MicroStrategy (MSTR) driving adoption and
developing enterprise grade LN tools for business, taking advantage
of the unmatched capability of the network.
Most recently, LN announced the integration of stable coin
transaction capability, which opens LN to a much wider user base.
Furthermore, many of the world's top cryptocurrency

Mastercard.
