Here's the Stable Channels Lightning Server dashboard UX 👇 built on @lightningdevkit by @benthecarman, @_tnull @Biresh_Biswas et al. (node IDs/numbers changed)
Little ⓘ buttons explain Lightning jargon throughout. We hope to bring it to Umbrel ASAP when LDK Server ships!

Just got a demo of splicing in @ZeusLN's LDK 'node in the phone' wallet.
This means paying and receiving via Lightning and on-chain with a single balance. Also a great UX improvement on current swaps functionality.
Hoping to get it in everyone's hands by end of year.

Lexe now supports zero-reserve and zero-fee commitment transactions (0FC)! After updating your node to v0.10.0, new channels can spend their balance all the way down to 0, finally solving the "unspendable balance" UX issue. 🎉
0FC arriving in Lexe is only the final step in a long chain of work 😉 across multiple software layers, open-source devs, and companies. Many thanks to:
- @glozow and @theinstagibbs for shipping TRUC (v3) txs, P2A, 1P1C package relay, and ephemeral dust in Bitcoin Core v29+
- @lightningdevkit, @spiral_xyz, @TheBlueMatt, @tankyleo, Wilmer Paulino for working on the spec and shipping LDK 0.3.0-beta1 with 0FC and 0 punishment reserve support
- @Blockstream, @mempool, @bitcoindevkit for Esplora submitpackage support

Over $250B of value sits in stablecoins instead of Bitcoin. Stable Channels is built to change that.
This demo 👇 features the @stablechannels server and iOS app, powered by splicing, just-in-time channels, and new server tech from @lightningdevkit, @bitcoindevkit & @spiral_xyz

Really enjoyed looking into this. The componentry provided by @lightningdevkit is really what helped enable it.
It's great because the benefits gained aren't necessarily Bark-specific. The mobile Lightning wallet ecosystem more generally can take advantage too. ⚡️
1/ Wallet apps built on Bark have never done their own Lightning pathfinding: the Ark server works out the best path on their behalf. It works great, but some users want more control, or don't want to share destination data. New research from @notgrubles explores an alternative.

True power of @lightningdevkit and RLN(RGB Lightning Node)
Remember this?
github.com/MutinyWallet/muti…
Lightning in the browser is back - with BTC and USDT support
Lightning Network is live in our Browser SDK.
Open channels, move $BTC & RGB assets, and receive payments even while offline.
A full node, running inside a single tab.

Payer proof is now merged in @lightningdevkit and ack on the Bolts PR
git.rust-bitcoin.org/lightni…
6 months and more than 500 PR comments, just to show how much we care about code quality
Now, fix the broken zap on nostr with bolt12 and shill lnproof.space for a client-side payer proof rendering

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.

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
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 👇
Lightning Dev Kit retweeted
The upcoming LDK 0.3 release will have splicing fully supported. Branch has been cut, release candidate incoming
Lightning Dev Kit retweeted
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!
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.

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