How to Swap Out from Lightning to On Chain Coins in Blockstream?
172 sats \ 7 comments \ @spiderman 16h bitcoin
Using the Blockstream Android app and I have some Sats in the lightning wallet. But I do not see any option in the app to swap out the lightning Sats to on-chain Sats (to the same wallet of the App or some other address).
I know it can be done using Boltz as a third party service, via their website. But is that really the cheapest way to do it or is there another option inside the app that I am struggling to find?

I can't speak for android but for iOS if you click the settings button on your lightning account there should be an option list with sweep wallet and node settings, select sweep wallet and an on-chain address and it should initiate a swap out
I've done it before and can vouch for it working

I'm also curious about this answer. I use blockstream as well but never had experience with lightning. I've used aqua to convert from liquid to bitcoin. I love lightning but still don't know the best way to go from lightning to bitcoin.

Aqua uses Liquid to store and swaps on the fly using Boltz. You can use Boltz to swap (without aqua as an intermediary) as well, just by going to the website.
But the goal behind the question is to find whether there is an in app or a cheaper option.

Aqua uses Boltz or SideSwap behind the scenes to swap or peg in/out

I use liquid in the middle for making it cheaper, though it is centralized by 15 federations.

Thanks. But it seems liquid is something that has not really caught up, so that I could spend it at merchants. Even some f my Bitcoin friends who can take sats or lightning, cannot seem to accept liquid.

Boltz is the cheapest and fastest way to swap
