1/5 Attention LL Community: A new star just lit up the LightLink universe
We're proud to announce Stella, our first chain-abstracted wallet, is now live in early access!
After a year behind closed doors, it’s ready for VIP explorers
Today, the first constellation opens ✨
Minting to someone with no wallet yet?
With Bolt, you mint to a userId, the ID your app already uses
→ one call from your backend: userId + token metadata
→ Bolt creates a LightLink account for that user
→ the token is minted to it, gasless
No wallet setup first 🤓
1/6 You can test a dApp your users never pay gas for, start to finish, without spending a cent
Here's the whole loop on Pegasus Testnet 👇
5/6 Step 4: send a gasless tx
→ to = your whitelisted contract
→ gasPrice = 0
It goes through without the sender holding any ETH
That's what your users get: nothing to pay, no ETH to buy first
6/6 Ready for Mainnet (chain ID 1890)?
Talk to us on Discord. We agree your quota and prepaid fee, then help you integrate. New projects get a 1-month Mainnet free tier 🤠
discord.gg/lightlinkchain
Steps in the docs: docs.lightlink.io/lightlink-…
Monday check-in from LightLink Mainnet:
→ 235.7M blocks
→ 94.6M txs
→ 6.0M addresses
→ 705.1K txs in the last 30 days
1.2M of those blocks landed this week alone, one every ~0.5s, nights and weekends included 🤠
Games and loyalty apps run on tiny txs: an item per quest, a point per purchase
With Enterprise Mode, the app whitelists its contract:
→ each claim is sent at gasPrice 0
→ the app's prepaid quota pays
→ players never buy ETH first
Gas is a budget line, not a toll per click
Why do blockchains charge fees at all?
→ Spam: free txs let anyone flood the chain
→ Costs: nodes, plus an L2 posting data and settling
Enterprise Mode covers both. The app prepays a gas quota that caps spam per app and still pays the nodes
User's fee: 0 😏
1/5 You hit send on LightLink and half a second later your tx is in a block
That's only the start of its trip
Here's where it goes next 👇
4/5 Then the Hummingbird publisher batches it
→ up to 5,000 L2 blocks per rollup block
→ the data goes to @celestia
→ a header pointing to that data goes to the CanonicalStateChain contract on Ethereum
5/5 Why split it up?
Celestia stores the data, Ethereum settles, and Blobstream lets Ethereum verify the data is there
Keeping the data out of Ethereum calldata is why fees stay at fractions of a cent and don't spike
Watch blocks land: phoenix.lightlink.io
Your Monday LightLink Mainnet numbers:
→ 234.5M blocks
→ 94.5M txs
→ 6.0M addresses
→ 793.8K txs in the last 30 days
~22.9K txs a day this week, each one in a block within about half a second 🤠
Moving an EVM app to LightLink is a config change, not a rewrite
→ Pegasus Testnet: chain ID 1891, with a faucet
→ Phoenix Mainnet: chain ID 1890
Geth-based execution, so Solidity, Hardhat, Foundry and MetaMask work unchanged
Add the network, point your deploy script at it
Coinbase and The Block Research found 73% of stablecoin transfer volume in the 12 months to July moved outside US banking hours
Money stopped keeping banking hours
LightLink never had any
→ ~1.2M blocks in the last 7 days
→ one every ~0.5s, Sunday 3am included 😏
1/6 Putting a user's action on-chain usually means building:
→ wallet infra
→ RPC plumbing
→ transaction signing
→ gas top-ups
Bolt replaces that stack with API calls 👇
5/6 Beyond minting, it's the same pattern for:
→ creating user accounts
→ deploying and executing contracts
→ creating and transferring tokens
→ webhooks for what happens next
6/6 It already runs at scale: @trycarbonio's CRT, the most-held token on LightLink, is built on Bolt
