Lightning Dev Kit

The Lightning Dev Kit project is building tools and libraries that make it easy to integrate Lightning features in #Bitcoin wallets.

1/ In case you missed the announcement from @benthecarman, we are releasing a production-grade Lightning node for servers.

Everything that powers the likes of @CashApp, @Square, @moneydevkit, @lightspark, @lexeapp, and @getalby is packaged as a daemon anyone can run.

@Silexperience With this app, a large number of @Ocean_Mining / #Datum miners can create their own #BOLT12 with their @Lightning Node and receive Lightning payments with the @LightningDevKit coupling, all from a single @Umbrel.

Awesome! ⚡️

Hopefully it will be available in the app store soon.

[Vincenzo Palazzo @PalazzoVincenzo]

Very Nice description and design.

With AI, I am building stuff in my spare time, implementing ideas on lightning with @lexe, and I need to say, it is an amazing experience

[Lightning Dev Kit @lightningdevkit]

LDK's modularity was the key.

Custom persistence for encrypted remote storage, transaction-based syncing, and a meganode design that shares the network graph across hundreds of users for a 10-100x memory win.

New on our blog: @lexeapp is running self-custodial Lightning nodes inside Intel SGX secure enclaves.

The result? Always-on nodes that send & receive 24/7.

How they pulled it off 👇

@steepdawn974 @lightning @lightningdevkit @roasbeef The upcoming LDK 0.3 release will have splicing fully supported. Branch has been cut, release candidate incoming

[benthecarman @benthecarman]

👀👀 @ZeusLN

[OpenAgents @OpenAgents]

Moving to LDK next week in Pylon+Nexus v0.2

Mainly because we need to send a bajillion ⚡️ agent micropayments and really need to own customizable infra ourselves

exciting news!

[Lightning Dev Kit @lightningdevkit]

It's ready to test today.

LDK Server is in preview — try it out, break things, and tell us what's missing. Bug reports and feature requests welcome.

2/ What's inside:

• BOLT 12, splicing, zero-fee commitments, async payments
• Built-in LSP(S) support (LSPS2 today, LSPS5 coming)
• Postgres, Docker, Prometheus, Tor, gRPC
• Runs without a full node via esplora/electrum + RGS
• MCP server so AI agents can manage your node

A native bitcoin lightning network wallet hidden behind an Agent Skill 🤯
Remember you can run Alby Hub with @lightningdevkit , LND from @lightning, Phoenixd from @acinq_co and even @CashuBTC

[Spiral @spiralbtc]

In this case study, @lexeapp CEO @MaxFangX shows how @lightningdevkit plus secure enclaves power reliable, always-on Lightning wallets without Lexe holding your keys.

Created a self-custodial Bitcoin Lightning wallet with Nostr Wallet Connect support for the MIT Bitcoin Hackathon!

- Lightning with LDK @lightningdevkit
- Olympus LSP integration for jit 0-conf payment channels
- Flutter for UI
- NWC support for any nostr client (@nwc_dev)

Get started with VSS today. Using it is straightforward, as VSS is already integrated with LDK Node v0.4.x+ https://t.co/KFeNIyUZ8w

[Lightning Dev Kit @lightningdevkit]

Introducing Versioned Storage Service (VSS): A solution for live online sync and lightning state backup for non-custodial wallets ⚡️

See @G8XSU’s post to learn more about VSS 👇

[Lightning Dev Kit @lightningdevkit]

VSS uses client-side encryption and robust authorization. When a user loses a device, it can facilitate a seamless recovery. Multi-device access will be enabled in the future.
