It's official - Lightning is (finally) here ⚡️
With today’s launch of Lightning, we’ll walk through the features that make Cake Wallet’s Lightning integration stand out from the pack.
We promise the wait has been worth it.
There's been a lot of discussion this week about how safe crypto wallets on iPhones really are. Cake Wallet gives you options if you want a little more separation, including keeping your private keys off your everyday phone entirely 🔐
You pair Cake with a separate signing device, so your phone can show your balance and set up transactions, but can't spend on its own. The signer approves each one with keys that never leave it. That can be a hardware wallet like Ledger, Trezor, or BitBox (Keystone and Foundation support coming soon too!).
You can also use Cupcake, our companion app that turns an old phone into an air-gapped signer that talks to Cake only through QR codes.
Cannot speak highly enough of the incredible team here at Cake, not just persevering through one of the most insane years in crypto, the AI boom, and a security hellscape, but actually driving record month after record month of growth across every metric.
Vik has been an absolutely incredible mentor as well who leads with kindness and generosity, builds real relationships with everyone on the team, and has an immense knack for timing and novel ideas.
And the year isn’t even over 👀
Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of connecting with more of the LATAM Bitcoin community in Argentina at LABITCONF 🧡🇦🇷
Thank you to @labitconf and everyone we met for a few incredible days of talks, workshops, giveaways, and great conversations about self-custody!
Walked into my local coffee shop to find they’ve started accepting BTC ⚡️ 😃
Bought this ginger-turmeric tea (great for muscle recovery) using LN in @cakewallet
Paying for a stroopwafel in Amsterdam with Bitcoin in under 15 seconds? 🧇
Awesome seeing @missteencrypto use Cake Wallet out in the wild! Love that more and more places are starting to accept Bitcoin. 🙌
A Cake Wallet feature most people don't know about!
Prove an address is yours without moving a single coin, paying a fee, or touching the chain. Just sign a message with your keys, and anyone can check that it really came from you.
A public ledger doesn't need to make your life public 👀
Vik joined @CryptoCoinShow for a conversation about Bitcoin privacy, open source wallets, and the trade offs that come with KYC. Watch the full conversation below!
Some behind-the-scenes from Bitcoin Amsterdam! 🇳🇱
Lea sat down with @cryptofocus_nl to chat about everything that's happened in self-custody lately, from supply-chain attacks to data leaks, and the work we do to keep self-custody simple and safe for everyone.
Did you know you can send to multiple addresses in ONE transaction with Cake Wallet? 👀
Here’s @vikrantnyc showing off our batch send feature by sending Zcash to over 10 addresses at once!
