⚡ REDWALLET: CREATE YOUR LIGHTNING WALLET
Your Lightning node runs right on your phone. A home node is optional.
1️⃣ Open RedWallet and tap + to add a wallet.
2️⃣ Select XBT. Give your wallet a name if you’d like, then tap “Add LND wallet.”
3️⃣ In Lightning node settings, leave the optional chain-peer field blank to use the built-in peers.
4️⃣ If the node shows “Stopped,” tap “Start XBT node.” When “Create Lightning wallet” appears, tap it.
5️⃣ Keep RedWallet open while the node starts and syncs. Use “Refresh status” to check progress.
6️⃣ Tap “Node and channel balances” and look for “Synced: yes.”
Your Lightning wallet is created! Return to the wallet screen to find it alongside your other wallets.
This step creates the wallet only. Funding it and opening a channel come next, in separate guides.

⚡ RedWallet’s latest iPhone beta is now available to internal TestFlight testers!
Naturally, all the good ideas were shamelessly stolen from Kilombino. 😉 Credit and thanks!
Recent updates:
⚡ LND runs directly on your iPhone, with a Lightning wallet alongside your regular wallets.
💸 Payments up front: green RECEIVE / CREATE INVOICE and red PAY buttons. Scan an invoice QR with your camera, review it, then pay.
📊 Separate Lightning Transactions and on-chain Funding tabs. Funding stays secondary, with smaller gray deposit/withdrawal controls.
🔢 Tap the balance unit to switch between XBT, sats and estimated USDC values across Lightning balances and history. USDC is a display conversion—not a swap or USDC balance.
🎨 A fixed balance header, visible LND connection indicator, cleaner typography and an activity display that keeps results visible.
🧾 Cancel unpaid receive invoices. Canceled invoices collapse into a gray, expandable stack.
🔎 Select a channel to see its peer name when available, public key, current address, funding reference, status and balance. Add/remove funds and close controls target that specific channel.
🧅 Tor support for embedded Lightning networking and configured watchtowers. Watchtowers must be added separately; enabling Tor doesn’t register one. Exchange-rate requests still use direct HTTPS.
🔐 Static channel backups and encrypted recovery export.
Build: 8.0.1 (1794074378)
Existing internal testers: TestFlight → RedWallet → Update.
Still beta—keep backups current and use small amounts while testing.
#XBT #RedWallet #LightningNetwork
⚡ RedWallet’s live XBT Lightning beta is now built for Android!
Following the iPhone version, Android now runs the XBT/BLAKE2b version of LND directly on your phone, connecting to the live network.
What’s included:
🔴 Embedded Lightning node
🔴 Built-in public peers and custom peer settings
🔴 Node status and sync progress
🔴 Channel management
🔴 Lightning invoice creation and payment review
🔴 Send/receive payment flows and history
🔴 On-chain funding and withdrawals
🔴 Encrypted recovery export/import
I believe Lightning will be a major part of Bitcoin’s future, so bringing it to RedWallet on both platforms felt like the obvious next step.
Where things stand: the signed Android beta has passed live-network sync, funding-address generation, and invoice creation/review. Funded channels, payments, and recovery passed controlled regtest testing. Physical Android testing with live funds is still pending.
⚠️ Tor/.onion Lightning peers are NOT supported in this build—please don’t attempt those connections yet.
This remains an early beta, with more testing ahead before a broader release.
#XBT #RedWallet #LightningNetwork #Android
⚡ RedWallet now has XBT Lightning!
You guys believe Lightning will become a major part of Bitcoin’s future—and an essential feature for wallets. So I decided to add it to RedWallet.
The latest iPhone TestFlight build brings embedded LND directly to your phone, for the XBT/BLAKE2b network. No home node required.
What’s new:
• Automatic connections to public XBT chain peers, with an optional custom peer.
• Connect to Lightning peers and open private, unannounced channels.
• Generate an on-chain address to fund your Lightning node.
• View confirmed funding balances and local/remote channel balances.
• Create Lightning invoices to receive payments.
• Review invoices and confirm payments before sending.
• View recent Lightning payments.
• Cooperatively close channels and return funds on-chain.
• Review on-chain withdrawals and choose the fee rate.
• Withdraw to SegWit and Taproot addresses.
• View on-chain transactions and confirmation counts.
• Export static channel backups.
• Export a password-encrypted recovery file containing the Lightning wallet seed and channel backup.
• Restore from a recovery file.
• Automatic startup and synchronization status updates.
All shamelessly “stolen” from Kilombino 😄 Seriously—huge credit to him and the Kilowallet project for the open-source groundwork!
Next update: a red LCD-style activity panel, clearer controls, and visible open/active/pending channel counts.
⚠️ Tor-only Lightning peers are NOT supported in this build yet. Please don’t attempt .onion connections for now. Work on Tor support has started.
Available now to our iPhone TestFlight testers.

RedWallet XBT update 🍎
The latest iOS build is now available on TestFlight, bringing together wallet improvements, visual fixes and experimental coin mixing.
What’s new:
• Updated optional skins, with corrected artwork framing so the background displays properly instead of looking excessively zoomed in.
• NeoxEX price refresh when opening the app, with automatic recalculation of your estimated portfolio value.
• Cleaner USDC totals displayed to two decimal places. XBT balances retain their full coin precision.
• Improved live CoinJoin pool discovery, including clearer search progress, pool counts, empty results, errors and retry controls.
• Experimental CoinJoin under Settings → Tools, with explicit opt-in for live participation and a transaction review/sign/broadcast flow.
• Stronger transaction and fee safeguards, alongside continued security fixes and native iOS testing.
Coin mixing collaboration 🤝
We’re working with Kolombino on compatibility with his coin-mixing implementation, so RedWallet can discover compatible pools and participate using the same protocol. Credit to Kolombino for his work and collaboration.
CoinJoin combines participants’ inputs and outputs into a shared transaction, making ownership links harder to infer. It does not guarantee anonymity, and later spending choices can undo privacy gains. This feature remains experimental.
Next in development—not included in this build yet: colored coin labels, warnings before combining mixed and unmixed coins, and privacy-aware coin suggestions to help avoid accidentally linking them again.
To update: open TestFlight → RedWallet → Update.
Current build: 8.0.1 (1792439689).
The Apple App Store release is coming soon. We’re finishing submission preparations; public availability remains subject to Apple’s review and approval.

🔴 RedWallet update — iOS and Android progress
iOS: Version 8.0.1 (1791526289) is now available in TestFlight. 10,000 download spaces.
👉 testflight.apple.com/join/Uu…
Android: The same update passed Android UI validation. The updated Android package is still pending publication.
What’s new
• Improved account recovery: Opt-in SegWit and Taproot account discovery, separate receive/change scanning, and recovery of accounts with spent-out transaction history. Adjustable search limits and clear warnings when a scan is incomplete.
• Server resilience: Support for up to five optional authenticated TLS backup servers, XBT checkpoint checks, and bounded connection waits.
• Wallet storage fixes: Transaction history is preserved during encryption, failed migrations retain the original storage, and deleting a wallet clears its obsolete cache.
• Red branding: Updated startup, loading and receive QR visuals.
• Cleaner USDC totals: USDC estimates now show exactly two decimal places. XBT amounts retain their existing precision.
• Automatic price updates: NeoxEX prices refresh when opening the app or returning to it, and totals recalculate automatically. Manual price settings remain respected.
Validation
809 automated tests passed, along with lint, TypeScript, and hosted Android/iOS checks. Isolated Knots testing also verified SegWit/Taproot transactions and RBF/CPFP behavior.
Existing Taproot/SegWit, Unified signing, cold-signing workflows, RBF/CPFP and prior transaction/batch fixes remain supported. These are retained capabilities—not newly introduced in this update. Simulator and backend results do not establish physical cold-device interoperability.
Credits
Built on BlueWallet’s open-source foundation, with credit to its developers and contributors. RedWallet development is directed by Roman, with OpenAI Codex assisting implementation and testing. Thanks to the XBT community and testers.
This iOS release is a TestFlight beta, not a public App Store release.
RedWallet update for iPhone + Android 🔴
An independent XBT community wallet built on BlueWallet. Credit to the BlueWallet team for the foundation. Thank you to every tester, reviewer, contributor and bug reporter!
Major upgrades:
• Native SegWit (BIP84) and Taproot (BIP86): creation, recovery, receive/change addresses and key-path spending.
• XBT Unified Sighash (0x21) signing.
• Watch-only public-account import and cold signing through signed PSBTs with a compatible XBT signer.
• RBF fee bumps and single-parent CPFP.
• QR receive/send, your own Fulcrum server, and XBT pricing with source/time labels.
Recent fixes:
• “Batch limit exceeded” recovery using smaller individual requests on the same server.
• History decoding handles outputs without addresses, correctly identifies P2WSH, and avoids nonexistent coinbase-parent lookups.
• History covers discovered receive AND change addresses, including activity outside RedWallet.
• Recovery/persistence, fee-review and transaction-status improvements.
Security upgrades:
• Authenticated TLS with certificate/hostname checks.
• Stronger scrypt + AES-256-GCM password storage and randomized encrypted caches.
• Authentication for seed/private-key export and clipboard safeguards.
• Raw transaction/prevout verification, wallet-owned change checks and conservative coinbase-maturity filtering.
• Returned PSBT signatures checked against the current request; altered outputs and incompatible BTC signatures rejected.
• High-fee warnings, protected signing/upload, full production source-tree matching and verified package hashes.
767 unit tests passed, plus native suites on both platforms.
Still beta: no Lightning, multisig or full SPV. Physical Android/cold-signer compatibility needs more testing. Taproot is key-path only.

RedWallet’s updated iPhone beta is ready! 🟥📱
Based on BlueWallet, built for Bitcoin using BLAKE2b (XBT).
Features:
• Create and restore Native SegWit wallets
• Full SIGHASH_UNIFIED signing for supported XBT transactions
• Send/receive, QR scanning and address copying
• Balance and transaction history through Fulcrum
• Configure your own Fulcrum server
• Manual or NeoxEX XBT pricing
• Review destination, amount and fee before sending
• Wallets and settings persist across restarts
• Conservative 6,480-confirmation safeguard for mining rewards
Security update:
All seven PR suggestions and the private security findings were addressed. Stronger transaction safeguards, protected release signing, affected credentials rotated, and PR #1 merged.
iPhone checks passed: recovery, restart persistence, receive/copy, QR scanning, saved settings, send review/cancellation and invalid-address rejection. Live sending/confirmation remains to be tested.
Thanks to Kyle for the careful security review and Luke for the corrections and clarification: XBT/BLAKE2b is Bitcoin, and supported transactions use the full unified sighash.
Only a few TestFlight spots are available—Devs DM or email me for the installation link.
Public App Store release is planned as soon as Apple approves the submission.
Android test build passed; a public phone APK is not yet released.
Still beta. Hardware signing, Taproot, Lightning and multisig are outside this release.
RedWallet update is live for iPhone and Android! 🔴
New features:
• Taproot wallet creation, recovery and signing
• Taproot watch-only wallets with cold-signing PSBT workflows
• RBF fee bumping and CPFP to help accelerate eligible unconfirmed transactions
• Fee review and signing safeguards
Built for XBT/BLAKE2b with full SIGHASH_UNIFIED support.
Limitations: cold signing requires an XBT Unified-capable signer. Taproot key-path only; no multisig or script-path spending. RBF currently requires sufficient change; CPFP supports one eligible unconfirmed parent. Cold hardware interoperability still needs more testing. Android was tested in an emulator; I don’t have an Android phone.
Known issue: some servers return “Batch limit exceeded,” which can block refresh and leave transaction history empty. A fix is being tested for the next build—it is NOT included in this release.
Thank you to everyone testing and reporting bugs!

Early beta—feedback and developer contributions welcome.
RedWallet’s iOS TestFlight beta has XBT Taproot (BIP86): create/restore, receive/change & Unified Schnorr key-path spending.
Taproot limits: no cold signing, script paths, annexes, multisig or fee bumping. Funded phone testing and Android rollout pending.
RedWallet for Android is here 🟥 Our first beta release, updated with the latest connection and security fixes.
Bitcoin (XBT) for people who want a mobile wallet without learning Linux or using a command line.
Features:
• Self-custody: create or restore BIP39 Native SegWit wallets
• Send/receive, QR scanning, balances, wallet history and fee-bump tools
• Your own Fulcrum server, with authenticated TLS and explicit private-certificate trust
• Unified (0x21) signing; watch-only accounts and PSBT signing with compatible XBT cold wallets
• USDC value estimates, using a manual price or NeoxEX
• Password encryption, decoy wallets and fee/recipient confirmations
Recent fixes improve certificate/hostname validation and slow connections, verify transaction inputs and change before signing, validate returned cold-wallet signatures, strengthen encrypted storage/cache handling, and protect secret exports and clipboard contents.
I don’t own an Android phone, so I haven’t personally tested this build. It passed automated and Android emulator checks, but it’s an early beta. Start with an empty disposable wallet, keep an offline backup, and don’t downgrade after upgrading encrypted storage. Cold-wallet device compatibility still needs testing.
Still pending: Taproot and multisig support, independent chain verification (SPV), and more testing on real phones and cold wallets.
Developers: please test, review the source, verify the behavior and submit bugs, critiques or PRs. Thoughtful criticism helps improve it.
