Description

Bitcoin Lightning Network nodes can be run with the development version of a lightweight, customizable implementation. It is useful for advanced users testing newer protocol behavior or node features.

Lightning software can handle real funds and network-facing services. Development builds add extra risk, so back up keys, understand channel risk, and avoid using money you cannot afford to lose.
