2025 Guide to Lightning Service Providers

We tried to keep the guide a maneagable size.  I appreciate your concern, but LightSpark is working on some new stuff that seems to definitely have a place in enterprise integrations. 

Since the post (and our site) has a business focus, I think LightSpark is appropriate to be on the list.

Hi Stackers!

We’ve updated our Bitcoin Lightning Service Provider guide for 2025!  Our guide is aimed at developers and project leaders that are looking to build on the Bitcoin Lightning Network.

It’s an overview of the major Lightning Service Providers (or LSPs), which simplify access to faster, cheaper, and more private transactions, making it easier to leverage the full potential of the Lightning Network.

Every year of progress in this space makes it easier and better to build with Bitcoin.

If you, your business or your project is looking to integrate Bitcoin in 2025, we hope our updated guide will be a valuable resource for you.

Hola Stackers!

Sup stackers!

Check out this new guide we made. We tried to make the mother of all guides to the various bitcoin testing networks.   If you all haven't tried some of these I really recommend it.  Bitcoin28 and Testnet4 downloads the entire block in like an hour.  It's a thing of beauty.

And MutinyNet for testing lightning apps is almost as easy as Polar.

I hope you all find it handy.  

It took forever to make and has loads of useful tools, faucet recommendations, all kinds of stuff:

This is a great guide.  Just set it up with LDK.  Couldn't figure out how to connect it to my existing alby browser extension yet.

I work in project management and also running our business so I'm on the computer like all day.

I love to do little software experiments too but I like to bring the computer somewhere else just so it feels different.

Do you all have a favorite tactic or place for this?  I just bring the computer into the kitchen and hang out with the fam lol  

What do you all do for after work coding?
