Lightning scales and speeds up #bitcoin. We build lnd, taproot assets, lightning loop.⚡️ Support: @lightning_help

[Lightning Labs⚡️🌐 @lightning]

AI agents can write code, send emails, and make phone calls. But they still can't transact.

Today we're fixing that. Releasing a new set of tools that give agents native access to the Lightning Network: lnget for automatic L402 payments, MCP for node operations, remote signing for key isolation, and scoped credentials for spending control.

The machine-payable web starts now. And bitcoin makes it possible. ⚡🦞

Just bitcoin, Lightning, and AI. ⚡🤖

Enjoyed @waithiraah and @statusquont's session exploring how lightning⚡ acts as bitcoin's translation layer, with real-world lessons from building @tando_me.

Btw, over 40 million Kenyans can now have lightning addresses tied to their phone numbers.🔥

This isn't speculation—this is Bitcoin adoption in action. 🪙⚡️

Local students in South Africa are closing the loop by spending their sats directly at Jabulani Shop No. 3 using tap-and-go NFC Bolt cards. A self-sustaining Bitcoin economy built from the ground up, proving that the Lightning Network is the ultimate tool for financial inclusion.

Empowering youth, empowering local business. Incredible work by @BitcoinEkasi! 🇿🇦

[Voltage ⚡ @voltage_cloud]

Lightning Network is scaling wonderfully.

[Lightning Enable @lightningenable]

Agent-to-agent. Agent-to-human. Human-to-agent.

Lightning Network + L402 make payments native to the web.

Lightning Enable makes it simple to monetize an API, endpoint, agent tool, or Shopify store with instant Lightning payments.

The Bitcoin Lightning Network is ready for institutions ✅

This integration with @bitgo increases the liquidity depth in lightning enabling larger payments with enterprise reliability for @ambosstech customers.

[BitGo @BitGo]

BitGo is expanding its Lightning Network offering with a new way for institutions to earn.

Lightning Earn lets corporate bitcoin treasury companies and institutional allocators deploy their bitcoin as liquidity on the Lightning Network, receiving bitcoin-denominated routing fees in return.

Powered by an integration with @AmbossTech rails, the offering comes with the security controls, operational workflows, and governance infrastructure BitGo clients expect.

[Africa Free Routing ⚡ @FreeRoutingAf]

✅ Day 3 of our Lightning Developer Bootcamp in Kisumu, Kenya.

Today was all about the Lightning Network.

We explored how Lightning works under the hood, covering payment channels, liquidity, routing, invoices, HTLCs, and the role Lightning plays in enabling instant, low cost Bitcoin payments at scale. Participants gained a deeper understanding of how Lightning extends Bitcoin and unlocks entirely new possibilities for payments and financial innovation.

Of course, the learning didn't stop at theory. We got hands on, giving participants the opportunity to interact with Lightning tools and apply the concepts they had learned.

We were also joined by some incredible guests. A special thank you to @BrindonMwiine for stopping by and inspiring the developers with his insights, experience, and encouragement.

Shoutout to @colmwanga for showcasing what's possible when building on Lightning through real world products like Minmo, BitSacco, and Fedi. Demonstrations like these help bridge the gap between learning the technology and seeing its impact in the real world.

Finally, none of this would be possible without the support of our sponsors. Thank you to @btrustteam, @HRF, @Tether_Africa, @Zone01Kisumu, @LakeHub @afribitcoiners, and @planb_network for investing in the next generation of Bitcoin and Lightning developers across Africa. 🚀
