Every Week Free Distribution
$0 Required No Barriers
Global Anyone, Anywhere

Why This Matters

The global economy is undergoing a transformation. AI is reshaping labor markets, the cost of energy is trending toward zero, and a new economic paradigm is emerging. In this world, access to sound money is not a luxury - it is a necessity.

Bitcoin is the only truly global, permissionless money. It cannot be inflated, confiscated, or censored. It belongs to no government and serves everyone equally. Yet billions of people still have no exposure to it.

Traditional Universal Basic Income requires government taxation and centralized distribution. Universal Bitcoin Income is different: it is funded by the community, distributed by the Lightning Network, and available to anyone on Earth.

The Genesis Faucet

In 2010, the first Bitcoin faucet gave away 5 BTC per visitor - worth fractions of a penny at the time. Today, those 5 BTC are worth a fortune. We are continuing that original mission: put Bitcoin in the hands of as many people as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Universal Bitcoin Income?

Universal Bitcoin Income (UBI) is an initiative by Lightning Faucet that distributes free Bitcoin to anyone in the world, every week. It is inspired by the concept of Universal Basic Income but powered by Bitcoin and the Lightning Network instead of government taxation.

How much Bitcoin do I receive?

Recipients receive 5-100 satoshis per week through a free spin. While this is a small amount today, Bitcoin appreciates over time. The original Bitcoin faucet gave away 5 BTC per visitor in 2010 when it was worth fractions of a penny - that same amount is now worth a fortune.

Is it really free? What is the catch?

Yes, it is completely free. You only need a valid email address to verify you are a real person. There is no purchase required, no credit card needed, and no obligation. The program is funded by community donations and revenue from our provably fair casino games.

Where does the funding come from?

The UBI fund is sustained through three sources: community donations from Bitcoin supporters, revenue from our provably fair casino games, and corporate sponsorships. 100% of donated funds go directly to distributions.

How is this different from a regular faucet?

Traditional faucets are one-time giveaways designed to introduce people to Bitcoin. Universal Bitcoin Income is an ongoing weekly distribution with a mission to provide every person access to sound money. It is recurring, reliable, and designed to grow over time.

Is this available worldwide?

Yes. Anyone with an email address and a Lightning wallet can participate, regardless of location. Bitcoin and Lightning Network are borderless by design, making this a truly global initiative.

How can I support the mission?

You can donate Bitcoin via Lightning Network or on-chain to fund more distributions. For larger commitments or corporate sponsorships, contact us directly. Every satoshi donated goes toward expanding the reach of Universal Bitcoin Income.
