Implements the Lightning Network for mobile wallets, enabling efficient sending and receiving of payments without relaying. Shares architecture with server-optimized eclair but focuses on different use cases.
lightning-kmp is a Kotlin Multiplatform implementation of the Lightning Network (see the Lightning Network Specifications (BOLTs)) optimized for mobile wallets. It can run on many platforms, including mobile devices (iOS and Android).
It is different from eclair which is an implementation optimized for servers (routing nodes). It shares a lot of architecture choices with eclair though, which comes from years of experience developing one of the main lightning implementations. But it optimizes completely different scenarios, as wallets will not relay payments but rather send and receive them. Read this article for more details.
lightning-kmp is used in Phoenix, the best non-custodial Lightning Wallet!
