Wallet of Satoshi has announced the launch of its self-custodial Lightning wallet on the Spark platform, marking a significant advancement in making Lightning Network payments more scalable and accessible, particularly in the U.S. market.
This integration allows users to have full control over their bitcoin, enabling them to send and receive transactions with an enhanced user experience. The partnership with Spark, which began with an early beta rollout, has been instrumental in developing the wallet’s software development kit (SDK) and addressing the complexities associated with self-custody in the Lightning Network. After leaving the U.S. market in 2023, Wallet of Satoshi aims to re-enter the market with this new self-custodial feature, which seeks to overcome previous limitations related to liquidity and channel management, providing a seamless experience for users. The private beta version is now available, inviting interested users to participate in the testing phase.
