Description

Bitcoin Lightning Network nodes can be run with an implementation focused on protocol compliance and performance. It is useful for advanced users or operators who understand channel liquidity, node uptime, and Lightning payments.

Lightning software can handle real funds and network-facing services. Back up keys, understand channel risk, and avoid using it with money you cannot afford to lose.
