What Happened in #Lightning? A Year in Review ⚡
2025 was a breakout year for the Lightning Network!
Public capacity smashed its all-time high (~$500M). Institutional liquidity poured in, protocol upgrades landed, and real-world adoption accelerated.
Here's the recap 🧵

👀 White Noise is born: the private messaging app based on Nostr
“Our main goal is to solve the current security and privacy problems related to private messages on Nostr,” explained Max Hillebrand, founder of Sound Money Solutions, former CEO of zkSNACKs, and the mind behind the @whitenoisechat project, during an interview with Atlas21.
Hillebrand also spoke about the current limitations of private messaging and outlined the vision behind the app, launched together with developer @erskingardner.

NEW: @fjahr's long-awaited research into Cross-Input Signature Aggregation
This is an extremely detailed and well-written exploration of CISA as a potential next step in Bitcoin development
CISA's incentive alignment between privacy and cost-savings is mind-blowing
🇮🇹 Italians are known for their impeccable taste, and that includes recognizing Bitkit’s beautifully designed UI and powerful features.
Here’s one giving a must-watch tutorial on how to get the most out of it. https://t.co/noqMjs3ppo ⚡
🎥 Watch and see why Bitkit isn’t just powerful, it’s stunning too.
Notizia di una portata difficilmente calcolabile. Se sei un turco, un argentino, un venezuelano che vuole usare dollari, possibilmente senza finire con paio di manette ai polsi, potrai farlo tramite Bitcoin. Niente commissioni da pagare a scammer e shitcoiner.
È il punto d’arrivo? Certo che no. Il punto d’arrivo è l’irrilevanza del dollaro (e portare liquidità su Bitcoin è un ulteriore passo in quella direzione). Ma fino a quando il dollaro avrà ancora una minima rilevanza, questa sarà la soluzione migliore per chi vorrà una bassa volatilità nel brevissimo periodo.
Game theory.
⛏️A stroke of luck for a solo miner: solves a block and wins 3.125 BTC
An independent miner managed to solve block 881,423 of the blockchain, claiming the full reward of 3.125 BTC (around $326,000). The event took place during a fundraising campaign for the 256 Foundation, an initiative dedicated to Bitcoin education and mining.
The block was solved using a FutureBit Apollo node, hardware designed to make mining accessible to retail users. Despite the global Bitcoin network's hashrate reaching record levels (over 775 TH/s), the miner succeeded with a computational power of only 992 PH/s.
This marks the second block found by a FutureBit device in just a few months, following the resolution of block 867,760 last October.

Cristina ci tiene a rassicurarci tutti: la Banca Centrale Europea non istituirà una riserva strategica in Bitcoin.
Meno male.
Per un secondo abbiamo temuto l'Europa non fallisse più.
Today we celebrate. @RealRossU is free. Great news.
Yet countless people are still detained for nonviolent drug-related crimes.
Is the bitcoin community ready to fight for them too or was #freeross just a cool meme?
The only true crime is prohibition.
