Does this fall in the same category with the Bolt card?

Yes
The ring needs to be configured with a bolt service. Once set-up it generates a unique and encrypted one-time LNURL withdraw-links where the merchant can withdraw the payment.

Yeah, it works in the same way. It has an NFC chip inside, similar to how the Bolt Card has one.
The shape of the container doesn't matter

Why would anyone get an implant when they can wear a ring instead!

This is really cool. I wonder if rings are the most convenient approach for making payments though.
Amazon’s approach of identifying individual items in their cashierless stores seems promising too.
Has anyone ever tried building a similar system on Lightning?

Have to be careful shaking people's hands if you wear one of these. Especially if they are wearing a point-of-sale-ring

Haha the POS ring would need to be able to run a web server and be connected to the internet tho
